Fans Laud Shah Rukh Khan As He Does His Bit & Announces 7 Key Initiatives To Support COVID-19 Fight
He is hailed the king of Bollywood who has a massive following all over the world. But what is that one thing that makes him the ruler of hearts? It is not only his contribution to the cinematic world but also his generosity towards the people of the nation. He always gives back.
Doing his bit, Shah Rukh Khan has announced seven key initiates to support the coronavirus battle.
He announce that his companies - Kolkata Knight Riders, Red Chillies Entertainment, Meer Foundation and Red Chillies VFX - will be donating to seven organisations during this pandemic.
From food for migrant workers to Personal Protection Equipment for medical professionals, he pledged his support to organisations that include PM Cares and Maharashtra Chief Minister's Relief Fund among others.
"At a time when the human race is facing an immense crisis, there can only be one true response: The expression of Humanity itself. This is a moment for all of us to come together in a collective effort to make each other kinder, stronger and braver to face the days ahead. This crisis is not going to pass in a hurry, it will take its time and its toll on all of us. It will also show us that there isn't really a choice between looking out for ourselves and looking out for one another," he said.
Fans applauded Shah Rukh Khan for donating an undisclosed amount and announcing several other initiatives.
Some things never change! Love the way he hasn't mentioned the amount in the list!

Do it like SRK... Diversifies his contribution all across, from the PM-CARE funds, to CM Relief fun and also steps in to support the daily wage workers and health care staff. Basically, a comprehensive to the point plan in the time of crises. Well done @iamsrk #SRKDonatesForCovid https://t.co/WgW7zmyAoO

Shah Rukh ended on a poetic note, "Raat ke baad naye din ki sehar aayegi, din nahi badlega, tareeq Badal jayegi... I pray for you and your families, please do the same for me. Aur kripya karke... kuch dinon ke liye... ek doosre se sharirik taur se... thoda door... aur door... aur door... aur door."
