The goal of the fundraising was INR 7 crores but with two days still in their pocket, the pair has managed to cross their mark with an impressive rim. Where the MPL app donated 5 crore rupees to the cause, Virat and Anushka themselves added an amount of 2 crores to the fundraiser.
The final amount after the completion of seven days will be proceeded to ACT Grants via Ketto organisation who will work in supplying oxygen, medical necessities, medical manpower, vaccination awareness throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are going through an unprecedented time in the history of our country and our nation needs all of us to unite and save as many people as possible. Anushka and I have been shocked to see the human suffering since last year,” Kohli said.
