Meanwhile, Farhan Akhtar also donated towards help in the COVID-19 pandemic. The actor-filmmaker has donated 1000 Personal Protective Equipments, worth Rs 650 each, for the healthcare workers of Government hospitals.  

The Bhaag Milkha Bhaag star hailed the contribution of the healthcare workers in choosing a ‘different path’ while sharing how hospitals have not ben able to test as per requirement. He also highlighted how one healthcare worker getting infected could lead to all the other co-workers being asked to quarantine for 2-3 weeks, which could severely affect the work strength at the hospials.

Urging his fans and followers to follow suit, he shared that those who contribute will receive a personal acknowledgement from him.

Earlier, Akshay Kumar had also donated Rs 3 crore to the Brihammumbai Municipal Corporation to acquire personal protective equipment (PPEs).
