The role of the celebrities in terms of encouraging people to come forward also plays a very crucial role for this event.

Such encouragement is what makes the fabric of society or knits society together. ’’

These are things, if we donate, will go to a family that will use it. This kind of sharing really needs to become a part of the fabric of society as it will help bridge the divide.. ’’
