Coronavirus outbreak doesn’t seem to slow down its pace. With every passing day, the number of cases have been increasing. Everyone is doing their bit to help each other in this time of crisis. B-town is also extending their support and is doing every possible way to help the needy. Shah Rukh Khan is also leaving no stone unturned to lend his support. The actor previously announced he has donated to several charities fighting against the Coronavirus outbreak.

Later, he transformed his office space into a quarantine center. Now, once again, he has decided to provide 25,000 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to medical teams across Maharashtra. The news about his contribution was brought to light when Rajesh Tope, minister of public health and family welfare, the government of Maharashtra, thanked him for his support.

Shah Rukh retweeted his tweet and wrote back to him. “Thank you sir for all your help to source the kits. We are all together in this endeavour to protect ourselves and humanity. Glad to be of service. May your family & team be safe and healthy (sic).” The Zero actor’s tweet was a response to Rajesh’s tweet thanking the star for his donation.

Indeed a thoughtful & timely gesture!” the BMC tweet read.
