Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is among those celebrities who came forward to extend help amid the COVID-19 crisis. From donating oxygen concentrators, ventilators, to donating for the COVID care center in Juhu, Amitabh Bachchan has continued with his philanthropic efforts while our country struggles with the devastating second wave of COVID-19. In a recent blog post, Amitabh Bachchan shared updates about the COVID care center in Juhu that he donated to, and also wrote about his other contributions.
In a blog post shared on Monday, Big B wrote, “The 25 bedder that I spoke of last night shall now be operational, perhaps by Tuesday taking into account the after effects of the Cyclone.” He wrote that he is praying for humanity, and for lasting peace. On Sunday, Amitabh Bachchan wrote that the 25 bedded COVID care facility in Juhu is almost ready, and that all facilities are in place. “The facilities are all in place .. and just today the relevant OC’s (oxygen concentrators) have been obtained from the BMC and the Fire Brigade .. just one more permission is due to come tomorrow and with that the facility shall be ready to operate by Tuesday or Wednesday .. this is for the really needy and those that cannot afford the expenses required for their treatment,” he shared.
Amitabh Bachchan also shared pictures of the site, on his blog. He mentioned that there is always a sense of satisfaction in seeing efforts when one contributes to those in need. He further added that he contributes in any way that he can, whenever he can.
“I give wherever I can .. my means are extremely limited .. it may not seem so , but they are .. somehow by the grace of the Almighty they come to me .. I have not made any effort to collect them through campaigns or donations to a cause that I may have instituted .. I just feel asking someone for funds is embarrassing for me .. yes there have been events in the past where the voice is for contributing, but I feel uncomfortable to ask , to contribute .. I may have partaken in the event as a voice over, but never directly asked to give or contribute .. and if there have been such unseen or unknown incidents then I seek forgiveness ..,” wrote Amitabh Bachchan.
