Virat Kohli and his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, announced last week that they are starting a campaign to raise funds for Covid-19 emergency funds as their country battles a deadly and terrifying wave of the coronavirus pandemic. The billionaire couple donated Rs2 crores to the cause and then asked everyone to pool in.
Within 24 hours, the campaign had received over Rs.3 crore in donations. The couple said they were overwhelmed by the ardent response.
On Sunday Virat penned down a heartfelt note of thanks for healthcare and frontline workers on Twitter. "I have nothing but gratitude for all the healthcare and frontline workers, they put their lives at risk to save ours, for this we are in awe of their spirit and dedication," Kohli tweeted.
Anushka also selected Twitter to post her tribute for healthcare staff, writing down, "We'd like to say a big thank you to all our healthcare and frontline workers, and their dedication is truly inspiring. You continue to risk your lives for the nation, and for that, we are eternally grateful to you. You are the real heroes, for Virat and I, and for the nation.”
Virat Kohli is now back in Mumbai after the Indian Premier League (IPL) was cancelled due to the spread of the coronavirus wave. Multiple players tested positive for the virus, while bio-secure bubbles proving inefficient at curtailing the spread of the vicious disease. It is suspected by healthcare experts that a double-mutant virus discovered in India, thought to be 15 times more infectious, is partially responsible for the surprising spike.
