Coronavirus crisis: Varun Dhawan to provide meals to doctors and medical staff at hospitals

Varun Dhawan on Wednesday (April 8) announced that he will be providing meals for the doctors and medical staff working at hospitals amid the coronavirus crisis. The actor will also be providing meals for the poor who don't have a home or a job.

Varun shared the official statement on Twitter that reads, "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. 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 best I can."
