At this time of crisis, the whole nation is coming together stronger to support one another and do as much as they can to support the government’s decision of lockdown and control the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Amid this, actor Hrithik Roshan has come forward with his initiative to help the people in need. Hrithik Roshan has partnered with a non-profit organisation to facilitate 1.2 lakh meals for senior citizens, daily wage workers and low-income groups during the lockdown period.
The foundation, Akshaya Patra, shared the news on Twitter, thanking Hrithik for extending support for the cause.
“We are happy to share, our Foundation is now empowered by superstar Hrithik Roshan. Together, we will facilitate 1.2 lakh nutritious cooked meals to old age homes, daily wage labourers & low income groups across India, until normalcy in work routine.”
