On the wake of the rising cases in India, Priyanka Chopra has come forward to boost the health infrastructure in India by setting up a fundraiser. Sharing her thoughts about the current situation in India, Priyanka wrote, ""India, my home, is suffering the world’s worst Covid crisis, and we all need to help! People are dying in record numbers. There is illness everywhere, and it’s only continuing to spread and kill at great speed and scale." Further, she shared that she has set up a fundraiser for COVID relief with Give India to help the physical health infrastructure. The global star further added, "Nick and I already have and will continue to contribute. We have all seen how far and wide this virus can spread, an ocean between us makes no difference. No one is safe unless everyone is safe. It’s so heartening to see so many people stepping up to help in so many ways. We need to beat this virus, and to do that requires ALL of us. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!."
In a video message, Priyanka urged everyone to share as much of the resources they can to support those battling the disease.
