The 69-year-old actor took to Twitter and shared a short video from her home and said, "During this lockdown, I have noticed that the young have become more caring and responsible towards their elders. Some are picking up groceries from them and some are helping them cope with technology. It's almost as if the roles have reversed, which is good because COVID-19 affects the seniors the most."
The 'Fire' star also suggested some ways to help the senior citizens, "So, look around you for elders because they are vulnerable, message them, and check on them regularly, and ask what kind of help they need, and share with us how you help them. Be there for them, without being around them."
She concluded, "Pledge your support to the elderly, Is baar badon ke liye Jaago re."
In the post accompanying the video, she wrote, "During this lockdown its heartening to see our youth making the long road comfortable for our senior citizens Iss Baar #BadonKeLiye #JaagoRe!! Log onto http://jaagore.comto know more, share your ideas and pledge your support to help the elderly. @JaagoRe"
Earlier, the veteran actor condemned the attacks on doctors and medical practitioners and urged people to stop hatred and salute the heroes.
