With no certainty on when the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent lockdown would end, it has been a tough period for a section of the citizens. With the ‘stay at home’ mandate, most of the offices, businesses, services and activities have come to a standstill, affecting the sources of income for many. The lockdown has thus led to the emergence of numerous heroes, who have come out to help them.

Not just tweeting or posting messages on social media, some are also reaching out to them via messages for help. This was evident with Ranveer Shorey’s recent post.

The actor expressed his surprise at being called and texted by unknown persons, who have been in ‘acute distress’ due to the pandemic. The Sacred Games 2 star prayed for an end to the situation being ‘so bad’ and ‘dire’ that people were reaching out to unknown persons.
