India is now gripped by the second wave of COVID 19, and those who can are stepping up to assist those in need. Amitabh Bachchan recently joined in, donating Rs 2 crore to a Delhi Gurdwara COVID 19 treatment centre for relief work. Not just that, but Big B went beyond and beyond to ensure that oxygen concentrators arrived in India from abroad on time and could be sent to Gurdwara’s COVID 19 treatment centre. The Akali Dal’s spokesperson took to social media to share how Mr Bachchan came to their aid in their hour of need.
Taking to Twitter, Sirsa expressed gratitude and wrote, ““Sikhs are Legendary सिखों की सेवा को सलाम” These were the words of @SrBachchan Ji when he contributed ₹2 Cr to Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Covid Care Facility. While Delhi was grappling for Oxygen, Amitabh Ji called me almost daily to enquire about the progress of this Facility.” Further, he also shared how Big B also was engrossed in every step of the way and even ensured that oxygen concentrators reach the care centre on time. He wrote, “He often said; “आप पैसों की चिंता मत कीजिए… बस कोशिश करिये कि हम ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा जानें बचा पाएँ!” @SrBachchan Ji contributed a huge Amt & also took the pain to ensure oxygen concentrators get shipped frm abroad & reach on time. He is not just a REEL Hero but a Real life Hero.”
