Bollywood stars have been subject to criticism for flaunting their privilege during the coronavirus pandemic, or not doing enough to help out people. Recently, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were subject to criticism for going on a vacation when the country is crippled with the second wave. But not all celebs are being ignorant towards the crisis – several actors like Sonam Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Sushmita Sena and Gurmeet Chaudhary are using their social media reach to amplify calls for help.
Bhumi has created a highlight on her Instagram profile, where she is identifying resources for medicines, oxygen, plasma and donors. “This initiative is my small contribution to the huge battle that lies ahead of us,” she wrote. She also posted a video recently asking Delhiites to come forward and donate plasma, as she has received several requests for donors from NCR.
