Bollywood star Anushka Sharma, who recently turned 33, on Sunday had hinted that she and her husband Virat Kohli will soon start a movement with their new initiative, the details of which she will divulge soon.

The couple announced a campaign for India's COVID-19 relief work. In a video posted on social media, Kohli and Anushka expressed concern at the COVID-19 situtation in India and shared the details of a fundraiser they have organised for relief work. "Since the Covid-19 outbreak, our country is going through trying times, our health systems are being challenged, we need to come together and help our India," Kohli wrote in an Instagram post. "Anushka and I have started a campaign on Ketto, to raise funds for Covid-19 relief, and we would be grateful for your support. No amount is too small to save lives. We will do everything we can to make a difference, but we need your help to fight this. I urge you all to join our movement. Let’s do our part to keep our country safe and strong."

The 'Sui Dhaaga' had shared a video in which she thanked her fans for all the lovely birthday messages she received. However, since the country is reeling under the exponential rise in Coronavirus cases, Anushka said that she did not feel like celebrating her birthday.

Anushka further urged her fans to come together to unite and support the country in this hour of crisis amid the raging second wave of COVID.

The second wave of coronavirus has infected lakhs of people, and the number of COVID-19 positive cases has been rapidly rising.

Anushka and Virat, who are undoubtedly one of the most loved and popular couples in Bollywood had recently welcomed their first child, Vamika in January earlier this year. The actor has been away from the limelight for the past two years. She was last seen in 'Zero' with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. She has recently produced two acclaimed projects - Amazon Prime Video web series 'Pataal Lok' and Netflix movie 'Bulbul'.
