The second wave of Covid-19 is even more dangerous and scary. Many Bollywood celebs have stepped in to help citizens in finding oxygen cylinders, plasma, and other necessities for those facing COVID-19. On Tuesday, veteran actress and BJP MP Kirron Kher shared the news that she has allocated a sum of Rs 1 crore from Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) for the purchase of ventilators for Covid-19 patients by the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh.


Kirron Kher tweeted on Tuesday "With hope and prayers in my heart, I am donating Rs. 1 crore from MPLADS to the PGI Chandigarh towards the immediate purchase of ventilators for COVID-19 patients. I stand solidly with #MyCity #MyChandigarh #MyPeople @MoHFW_INDIA @BJP4India". 


Meanwhile, several celebs including Bhumi Pednekar, Alia Bhatt, Sonu Sood, Taapsee Pannu, among others, have been using social media to amplify COVID-19 information and leads. For those unversed, Kirron Kher's suffering from blood cancer. She has been undergoing treatment for Myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Earlier this month, the 68-year-old actress's husband, actor Anupam Kher, shared her health update on social media.

Taking to Twitter, Anupam Kher said, "Just so that rumors don’t get the better of a situation Sikandar and I would like to inform everyone that Kirron has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. She is currently undergoing treatment and we are sure she will come out of this stronger than before. We are very blessed that she is being looked after by a phenomenal set of doctors.
