Chinu Kwatra, the founder of Roti Ghar that feeds several needy on a daily basis, spoke to Republic World about how Farah Khan has been generous through this time.
He said: "An actor friend of mine wanted to take an initiative, do something for the migrant labours walking back home. I picked sanitary pads from her place and distributed them to those in need."
That was when director Farah Khan knew of this initiative and messaged my friend about the same, he added. "I was so surprised when I was on a conference call with Farah Khan, who has also encouraged me and contributed to the cause. She wanted to donate sanitary napkins. She also requested for packets of sanitary napkins for her society housekeeping staff. It is truly humbling looking at the kind of support we are receiving," Kwatra said.
