The entire country is reeling from the effects of the rapidly spreading COVID-19 Novel Corona Virus Pandemic and the Indian Government has announced a nation-wide 21-day lockdown. Unfortunately, many lives have been lost and thousands of people have been identified as testing positive for the Virus. All the celebrities are doing what they can to help the needy and the Baadhsah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan is doing his best too! He had earlier announced a slew of measures to provide relief and now, SRK & his wife Gauri have gone a step further! They have given the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), their office premises for using as a Quarantine facility to help the affected patients.

The BMC has taken to their Twitter handle to thank SRK and Gauri for their kind gesture to help the needy. Responding to this tweet, both SRK & Gauri mentioned that they were happy to be of help in any way, during such testing times, through their individual social media handles. SRK had earlier announced that his business partners and he would be donating to the PM Cares fund through their Kolkata Knight Riders franchise and will also be donating to the Maharshtra Chief Minister's Fund through his Red Chillies Entertainent company. SRK's NGO - Meer Foundation will be working with the Governments of Maharshtra and West Bengal, to supply 50,000 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the healthcare professionals involved in tackling the Corona Virus. They have also tied up with Ek Saath - The Earth foundation, to provide food for over 5500 needy families in Mumbai, for over a month. SRK has also announced a number of other help measures for the needy! This is indeed a very heartwarming gesture by SRK and Gauri! We salute them!
