Young
Bollywood
star
Bhumi
Pednekar
has
been
relentless
in
helping
people
across
the
country
during
the
second
wave
of
the
COVID-19
crisis.
Now,
she
partners
with
Kapil
Sharma
to
help
aid
patients
in
Karnataka
that’s
battling
the
virus.
Bhumi,
who
has
teamed
up
with
Sri
Sri
Ravi
Shankars
Mission
Zindagi
initiative,
will
now
join
hands
with
Kapil
to
provide
oxygen
supply
for
people
in
Karnataka.
The
programme
will
send
oxygen
buses
outside
COVID
hospitals
in
Hoskote,
Devanahalli,
Doddaballapur,
Nelamangala-1
&
Nelamangala-2
to
help
aid
those
in
need.
Bhumi
says,
“Our
country
is
currently
witnessing
the
second
wave
of
this
deadly
virus
which
has
now
penetrated
rural
India.
With
so
many
cases
coming
from
smaller
towns
and
villages
where
medical
assistance
and
aid
might
be
limited,
the
need
of
the
hour
is
to
provide
oxygen
to
the
patients.
Through
Mission
Zindagi,
we
are
focusing
our
attention
towards
rural
india
and
are
starting
with
some
districts
in
Karnataka.”
She
explains,
“Our
buses
would
be
installed
with
oxygen
concentrator’s
that
would
provide
tertiary
care
to
patients
outside
district
hospital
emergencies
while
they
wait
for
a
bed.
Our
buses
will
help
share
the
load
of
hospitals
in
smaller
towns
where
the
cases
are
now
rising.
I’m
glad
we
collaborated
with
Kapil
on
this
leg
of
the
mission
as
he
is
well
loved
by
many.
I
want
to
do
my
bit
to
ensure
that
as
many
COVID-19
patients
get
the
help
that
they
critically
need
and
I’m
thankful
to
Gurudev
for
being
a
beacon
of
hope
at
this
time
of
crisis.”
Kapil
Sharma
says,
“As
Humans,
we
have
to
support
each
other
right
now.
I’m
also
doing
my
bit.
It
is
my
honour
to
associate
with
the
extraordinary
work
that
Gurudev
&
BJS
(Bharatiya
Jain
Sanghatana)
are
doing.
With
Bhumi,
who
is
doing
exemplary
work
towards
COVID
relief,
this
initiative
with
Mobile
oxygen
Buses,
we
have
now
started
supporting
people
in
Karnataka
&
planning
to
take
this
to
more
states
as
well.”
