Daisy Shah has been utilising her social media following to help people in need by amplifying their requests for medical facilities amid the Coronavirus crisis. But, she is mighty miffed with some people trying to use the situation for their own interest, and being desperate to get a mention on a celebrity’s profile.

The actor had recently shared a series of Instagram stories, highlighting the same. “A lot of people have been sending requests. If a person is genuinely in need of something, they share the patient’s name, age, requirement etc. But I also get certain direct messages, saying ‘please help’. What sort of help do you want? Woh toh mention karo. Just because you want to see your name getting flashed on a celeb’s story?” she asks.

Shah asserts that people need to understand the current times are critical and hence, seriousness is paramount. “We actually want to help, but few people are like, ‘Celeb ki story pe apna naam aaya, woh chahiye apne ko’. This is not the time for all that,” the 36-year-old maintains.

That aside, Shah believes the pandemic has humbled everyone. “I’ve been making the most of this, and learnt a lot. The pandemic slowed down our lives. It taught us the importance of what life should be. You don’t need much to be happy. People have been surviving on dal chawal, they’d forgotten the difference between need and want. A person doesn’t need to get evil to get what they want,” she ends on a thoughtful note.
