According to details, the 55-year old actor has come forward with the idea of serving food to police officers and healthcare workers, who are working amid the pandemic.

In order to achieve the goal, he has revived his food truck initiative 'Being Haangryy' and is distributing food kits to frontline workers in Mumbai.

The kits include tea, mineral water and snacks including biscuits and chips. The food trucks will be providing food till May 15 between Worli and Juhu as of now.

India’s current Covid wave has taken on frightening proportions, driven in part by a new variant of the virus which has double mutations. Earlier this week, India overtook Brazil as the country with the second-highest number of cases in the world, behind the USA.

Experts are concerned that given the low testing rate, India possibly has higher number of cases than either US or Brazil. On Thursday, the country reported almost 300,000 cases. Real numbers could be much higher, with crematoriums and graveyards both running out of space across the country.
