Filmmaker and producer Karan Johar has announced that his production house, Dharma Productions, will be extending support to various initiatives to aid the fight against the novel coronavirus.
The Production House will be making a donation towards PM-CARES Fund and Maharashtra Chief Minister's Relief Fund among others.
The official statement released by Dharma Productions read, “Over the past month India has stood united in this decision to stay home and stay safe until we overcome this pandemic. But there is so much more to do in order to win the fight against this dreaded disease. With the lockdown being extended, it's only going to get harder on everyone, especially those workers and technicians who rely on daily wages for their livelihood. They are in a situation in which they don't have clarity on where their next meal is coming from... and that can be scary...very scary. They're in this situation through no fault of their own, and we believe it's our moral responsibility to help them as much as we possibly can”
“That is why the entire Dharma family has come together to extend our support to the various causes initiated by the government and a host of NGOs to help those affected by this lockdown. There is still a lot to be done, and this is our contribution to the cause. Let us all unite and fight COVID together. Stay home, stay safe.”
Karan Johar also shared a video on Twitter with the caption, “We're all in this together and it is our responsibility to help those in need during these difficult times... which is why the Dharma family has come together to support these notable causes in their mission to provide relief during this lockdown. #LetsUniteAgainstCOVID”
The novel coronavirus pandemic continues to affect people across the globe. In India, 14,378 cases have been reported so far.
