Vidya Balan raises 2500 plus PPE kits and Rs 16 lakhs for Covid-19 warriors- watch video

In India’s fight against the Coronavirus, everyone is trying their best to pledge their support. Several B-town actors offered financial help and some of them even donated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the Covid-19. Actress Vidya Balan not only donated 1000 PPE kits but also helped in raising more than 2500 kits and around Rs 16 lakhs for frontline warriors.

Stressing about the severe shortage of PPE kits for doctors and other medical staff, the actress had earlier shared a message stating, “Namaste, it is critical that we provide PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) kits to our healthcare workers for their protection in this #WarAgainstCovid19. I am donating 1000 PPE kits for our medical staff and have partnered with Tring to raise donation for another 1000 PPE kits which are in immediate need across India for our doctors and medical staff. For your contribution, I will send you a personal thank you video message recognising your generosity. This video will be in permanent memory with you.(sic)”
