Bollywood celebrities are looking into every possible need to help frontline workers fighting the Novel Coronavirus. From facilitating rest houses for police personnel to donating personal protection equipment to healthcare workers, celebrities like Rohit Shetty, Hrithik Roshan and others are generously doing all they can.

The latest to pitch in to help healthcare workers fight the virus is Priyanka Chopra, by donating 10,000 pairs of footwear to the medical community. Stating that it is imperative for healthcare workers to have easy to clean footwear and apparel, Priyanka made this thoughtful contribution.

A press statement released by Priyanka read, "Healthcare professionals across the country are our true superheroes, working everyday to ensure our safety and fighting for us on the frontlines. Their courage, commitment, and sacrifices are saving innumerable lives in this global pandemic."

It continued, "While we cannot even imagine what it's like to be in their shoes, we can at least help them be comfortable in them.
