The nation witnessed 85 Indian and global stars come on one platform to raise funds for GiveIndia Covid-19 relief fund for a live fundraiser concert on 3 May 2020. Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao kickstarted the philanthropic extravaganza by singing classic melodies of hope for the virtual audience.
Sharing heartfelt messages of hope with the audience, Aamir and Kiran urged everyone to contribute to the fundraiser live. The classic they chose were ‘Aa Chal Ke Tujhe’ by Kishore Kumar and Raj Kapoor’s ‘Kisi Ki Muskurahaton Se’ from Anari, and they both sang them beautifully.
Aamir Khan also said that we are passing through a difficult stage, that it is important to help the needy, and that people should not lose hope. Kiran also said that everyone should come together in tough times.
I for India was a home-to-home fundraiser concert that went live on Facebook on Sunday, 3rd May 2020, at 7:30 pm. The concert was a no-sponsors, only-donors approach where 100% of proceeds from the fundraiser concert went to the India COVID Response Fund to support on-ground relief efforts.
Entertainment industry leaders like Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao had a three-pronged vision for their concerts. They aimed to entertain people stuck at home, pay tribute to frontline workers, and raise funds for those who have lost their jobs and homes and are struggling to find their next meal. The concert showcases performances and personal messages from entertainers all around the world.
With the nation facing a lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19, these efforts by personalities like Aamir Khan inspire many others. Though this is not the first time he has extended his support to help the people affected by the lockdown, the personal touch that Aamir and Kiran gave to raise funds is commendable.
