After donating to UNICEF to combat the current Coronavirus situation, Kareena Kapoor Khan on Thursday announced that she will also contribute to PM CARES Fund and Maharashtra’s CM Relief Fund along with her husband Saif and son Taimur Ali Khan.

Kapoor made the announcement through an Instagram post and also urged others to do their bit by doing whatever is possible. “We extend our support to the PM CARES Fund and the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (Maharashtra),” read the official statement post by Kapoor.

“In times like these, every helping hand and every rupee raised matters. Do help wherever possible,” the statement further read. However, the amount of donation hasn’t been revealed in the post.

The star couple had recently pledged support to UNICEF, GIVE INDIA and the International Association for Human Values (IAHV). At the time, they were criticized by social media users for not donating to the PM CARES Fund and Maharashtra Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, unlike their Bollywood counterparts.

Khan and Kapoor have joined a list of celebrities including Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal and others who too have extended support to PM CARES Fund to fight against the pandemic.
