To rescue these animals and provide them with food and shelter, Sonam Kapoor and husband Anand Ahuja have announced that they have dedicated 100% revenue of Bhaane's e-shop to help feed stray animals.?

Anand Ahuja, the founder-CEO of the urban-contemporary clothing brand Bhaane and actor Sonam Kapoor took to social media to announce the news.?

She wrote,?

"For years, Bhaane HQ has shared space with stray animals that are around our office space. Due to the lockdown, many of these urban animals like dogs, cats, and cows, who were depending on local street businesses and passers-by are now starving of hunger. Team @bhaane has pledged to donate 100% of the revenue from our e-shop to providing food for our street companions."?

Like a good Samaritan, Sonam Kapoor has been spreading awareness and suggesting fans and followers proper safety measures to fight coronavirus.?

She had even posted an appeal to support starving power loom workers in Bhiwandi. She had written,?

"6 lakh power loom workers in Bhiwandi have been left with no income and no food during the COVID19 lockdown. The situation is so desperate that it resembles a famine."?

Apart from power-couple Sonam and Anand, Bollywood superstars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone also pledged their support to the PM-CARES Fund.?

Taking to Twitter, Ranveer wrote,"In times like these, every bit counts. We humbly pledge to contribute to the PM- CARES Fund and hope that you will too. We're all in this together, and we shall overcome. Jai Hind."?

However, the 34-year-old actor did not reveal the amount of the donation.?

Many celebrities including Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, and others have extended support to PM CARES Fund to fight against coronavirus. Actor Shilpa Shetty too pledged to donate a sum of Rs 21 lakh to the relief fund.

Meanwhile, actors Bhumi Pednekar, Rajkummar Rao, Sara Ali Khan, Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra, and Madhuri Dixit are also the names who have chipped in to support the government in the fight against COVID-19.?
