“Hrithik Roshan had helped us during the last lockdown too; he had donated Rs 25 lakh. This time, the money he gives us will be utilised in getting 5000 members of the association vaccinated and help members below the poverty line with ration''.

Amit also informed that actor that Vicky Kaushal has also made a donation of around Rs 2.5 lakh while actress Flora Saina has donated Rs 25 thousand, and there are some other members too, who have made donations to the association.
