Power couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have thanked people as they successfully raised money to help India at a time when the devastating second wave continues to claim victims. Their fundraiser, for which they collaborated with Ketto went on to collect over £1.1 million.
Anushka tweeted, “Truly amazed and humbled by the spirit of solidarity that you all have shown. We are proud to announce that we have raised more than our initial target and it will go a long way to save lives. Thank you for your overwhelming support in helping the people of India.”
Virat Kohli also tweeted, “Words fall short to express how overwhelmed we feel to have exceeded our target not once, but twice, thanks to each one of you. To everyone who has donated, shared, & helped in any way, I want to say a big thank you. We are #InThisTogether & we will overcome this together.”
The pair partnered with crowd-funding platform Ketto and started the #InThisTogether campaign on May 7. They urged fans on social media to support them in their fight against Covid-19. Kohli and Anushka managed to raise £360,000 in a single day after donating £200,000 from their own pockets.
