In a fantastic and respectable, and also much-needed initiative by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he has asked all of us to make our contributions to the PM-CARES Fund to financially help all the people who are grappling with the pandemic of Coronavirus across the country. And Bollywood celebrities have begun making their contributions.
One of the first few actors to come out was Akshay Kumar, who made a staggering contribution of Rs 25 crores and stunned everyone. This is the biggest amount an actor has made so far and people on social media cannot stop showering their respect for the actor.
This is what he had written:
This is that time when all that matters is the lives of our people. And we need to do anything and everything it takes. I pledge to contribute Rs 25 crores from my savings to @narendramodi ji’s PM-CARES Fund. Let’s save lives, Jaan hai toh jahaan hai. ðŸ™ÂÂ🻠https://t.co/dKbxiLXFLS

Next in line comes Bhushan Kumar, the honcho of T-Series. Given he's one of the most influential and successful personalities of the industry, his contribution couldn't have been any less. His amount was Rs 11 crores. Have a look at his tweet:
Today, we are all at a really crucial stage & it’s extremely important to do all we can to help. I, along with my entire @TSeries family pledge to donate Rs. 11 crores to the PM-CARES Fund.

One of the most heartening initiatives came from Salman Khan, who decided to financially support over 25,000 wage workers of the Hindi film industry. It's being said he would directly transfer the amount to their bank accounts. Now that's what we call a true gentleman.
