Shah Rukh Khan Sends 2500 PPE Kits to Aurangabad Doctors after Rajshri Deshpande Requests Him To
Rajshri Deshpande had earlier urged Shah Rukh Khan to help her in providing PPE kits to Aurangabad doctors since the region falls under COVID-19 hotspot category.
It was only a couple of days back that Sacred Games actress Rajshri Deshpande had requested for PPE kits for the doctors in Aurangabad who are leading the fight against the novel coronavirus. The actress had insisted that she tried contacting various NGOs and authorities for the supply but they all were genuinely out of stock. She finally urged Shah Rukh Khan to take a note of the situation and help the doctors from the region that's classified as COVID-19 hotspot.
While we knew SRK would reach out to her eventually, we didn't know if his response would come so soon. After tweeting her plea to the actor on April 18, the actress today (April 26) confirmed that around 2500 kits were delivered to the health professionals of Aurangabad. She further thanked Shah Rukh Khan and his Meer Foundation along with Rajesh Tope for lending a helping hand in these testing times.
