Lockdown has been relaxed. However, lakhs of people continue to suffer. Some are struggling for food, others are jobless. Atul Kulkarni had said that COVID-19 will only enhance the existing inequality and disparity in Indian society.

In such trying times, actress Jacqueline Fernandez on the occasion of her birthday adopted two villages, Pathardi and Sakur, of Maharashtra for three years.

She will look after 1550 people who suffer from malnutrition.

"This has been on my mind for a while now. It has also been a difficult year for everyone due to the ongoing pandemic. Some of us have been lucky, but a section of the society has been struggling even for basic necessities," she was quoted as saying by TOI.

Also, 20 children will be treated for malnutrition, and 20 kitchen gardens will be set up in the villages. Giving back to society is something that my parents have taught me, and they were extremely supportive of this decision of mine," she added.
