Amid the ongoing COVID 19 crisis in India, Varun Dhawan has shared a powerful message on Instagram. The actor reminded everyone that we should never forget that we fought for air in this time of crisis. Varun wrote, "If we all survive this, as I hope we shall, remember that when it came down to it, we didn't fight for land or weapons or house or jewellery. We didn't fight for concert tickets or fancy designations or religions or politics. We didn't fight for shares in a company or a seat at the table. We didn't fight for business class tickets or the keys to a house by the beach. When all this is over, remember, that we fought for air." He captioned the post, "WE are in this together."
Earlier, Varun, who himself battled COVID-19 illness, announced that he has joined hands with an initiative to provide oxygen concentrators to hospitals across the nation. Further, he also shared a link for fans to donate and help out the organisation providing oxygen concentrators amid the crisis. Varun also shared that he too has made a contribution to them. Sharing a note on social media, Varun wrote, "During uncertain times like these, our healthcare system needs utmost help. Since we know that oxygen is the need of the hour, I have contributed and partnered with @missionoxygen in their initiative to procure and donate life saving oxygen concentrators to hospitals across the country." Further, Varun expressed that he 'deeply resonates' with the cause and requested everyone to help in whichever way possible for them. The actor even shared proof in photos of how the initiative was able to get the first shipment of oxygen concentrators in India and distribute across 14 hospitals. Varun wrote in his caption, "#weareinthistogether." On the work front, Varun, announced the schedule wrap of his upcoming film Bhediya in Arunachal Pradesh.
