I For India: Priyanka Chopra Condemns Attacks On Healthcare Workers, Nick-Joe Jonas Join In; Virat-Anushka Applaud Frontline Workers - WATCH
To raise Coronavirus relief funds, ‘I For India’ concert is taking place currently, and numerous Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities came together for the cause, to raise funds for the India COVID Response Fund (ICRF) managed by Give India. The concert is being streamed live on Facebook and so far, Madhuri Dixit, Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao, Badshah, Ayushmann Khurrana, among others kept fans engaged with their performance. Now, Priyanka Chopra condemned the attacks on healthcare professionals, while Virat Kohli applauded the frontline healthcare workers, calling them superheroes. Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas urged people to donate.

Virat Kohli said, “As we stay at home, there are those out there on the frontlines, putting their lives at risk, making sure that we are safe and healthy. To our doctors, healthcare staff all over the world, you are our superheroes. We might not have a vaccine or a cure for now, but we have you.” Priyanka Chopra, on the other hand, condemned the violence and attacks on healthcare professionals. She said, “They are putting their lives at risk to save us. I am talking about our frontline healthcare professionals. And the patients, it's not their fault. We should understand that there's no cure right now. It's our responsibility to show them kindness. My mom and dad are doctors. Many in my family are in healthcare, and they have kept their patients above them. They have taught me to take care of people. We have to let professionals do their job, and we have to let patients heal. I read stories of attacks on these people, and this should not be happening."

Meanwhile, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner urged people to donate for ‘I For India’, and also expressed the love they have for India. Check out some of the videos below:
