Alia Bhatt posted the announcement on the stories section of her Instagram page. The post reads: “At a time of great difficulty, while the nation is in lockdown, the central and state government are working tirelessly to combat COVID-19. I salute the efforts of all those on the frontlines who are putting themselves at risk so the rest of us stay safe. I also pledge contributions to thr PM-CARES Fund and the chief minister’s relief fund (Maharashtra) as a gesture of my support.”
