Our hearts are breaking looking at the suffering of so many & we hope our contribution, in some way, helps easing the pain of our fellow citizens #IndiaFightsCorona.'



The star couple had earlier shared a video message for their fans, urging them to stay indoors amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

The video, shared by both Anushka and Virat on social media, was captioned, 'Stay Home. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy. The need of the hour is to absolutely respect and follow the government’s directive. Stay home. Stay safe. Stay healthy.'

Few days ago, India’s PM Narendra Modi urged the nation to donate to the PM’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situation (PM-CARES) fund and since then, various celebrities along with the common people are doing their bit. 

Several Indian cricketers have already pledged to donate a certain amount in a bid to help India fight against the Coronavirus.
