Ayushmann Khurrana Pens Powerful Poem To Frontline Workers: ‘Bollywood Heroes Hai Bas Naam Ke’
The outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus across the globe has changed social realities in little time. As many of us have self quarantined ourselves, it has given us a lot of time to think about the ones who are out there fighting the spread of the virus and keeping all of us safe.
Ayushmann Khurrana made use of his time in self quarantine to pen a powerful poem to express his gratitude to all the frontline workers, including healthcare workers, policemen, security guards and sanitation workers.
The actor paints a picture of contrast between the kind of professions we as a society value and the kind of professions which actually matter to society. He expresses how we never gave a thought about sanitation workers and other essential service providers before this, and hopes that we give them the gratitude and respect they deserve for putting their lives on the line.
Ayushmann shared a video of him reciting his poem with a tweet which read, "This is for all the Frontline Warriors ~ fighting for us, saving us, risking their lives for us and our families against coronavirus! Have written these words to express my gratitude. I salute you. India salutes you. Jai Hind!"
