Varun Dhawan to contribute towards free meals for doctors, health workers

Doing his part in the nation's fight against the coronavirus pandemic, Varun Dhawan has decided to provide free meals for doctors, and healthcare staff.

Varun took to social media today and shared that he will facilitate meals for doctors and medical staff engaged in the coronavirus battle, and also pitch in to provide meals for the poor.

"With each passing day of being locked down at home, my heart goes out to all those who have no home in this time of crisis. And so this week I've committed to provide meals for the poor who are without homes or jobs," the actor said.

"I also have deep admiration for all those who are risking their lives by working on the frontlines. I've committed to provide meals to doctors and medical staff at hospitals. All meals are provided through the Taj Public Service Welfare Trust. It's a small step. But during a crisis like this, we have to make every step count. I will continue to do what I can," he added.

"It is a long battle and we have to fight it together," he wrote, adding, "Finding solutions is the only way forward."

Varun will next be seen opposite Sara Ali Khan in Coolie No. 1, a remake of the 1997 Govinda-Karisma Kapoor starrer of the same name that was directed by Varun's father, David Dhawan. The latter returns to helm the remake too.
