“Hi guys, things have been very tough for India as we fight the pandemic and it really pains us to see our country suffer like this. We are grateful to all the people who have been fighting the pandemic day in and day out for us. Their dedication is appreciable. Now, they need our support and we need to stand by them. So, Anushka and I have started a fund raiser at Keto to raise funds for Covid-19 relief. We request you all to join this initiative and donate. Every little bit makes a difference. To our family, friends and fans, this is the time to stand together and move ahead. We will overcome this crisis together. We will also emerge victorious if we fight this battle together. Stay safe, Jai Hind,” Anushka and Virat said in the video.
