Author and former actor Twinkle Khanna shared a message urging fans to donate towards procuring oxygen supplies. She and her husband, actor Akshay Kumar, recently procured and donated oxygen concentrators as well. She asked people to work collectively to procure more oxygen concentrators.
Taking to Instagram, she posted a video saying, "My day began at 6.30 am, with a school friend messaging me looking for an oxygen cylinder for her grandmother. This is the story across the country, with friends, relatives, and strangers begging for air. This is what we have come to. It's not like these pleas go unanswered. There are people from all walks of life who organise medicines, and oxygen, and hospital beds for people they don't know and are likely to never meet...This is not about you, it's not about me, it's about what we can do collectively. And yeah, I know, these are difficult times, but every little action, every contribution adds up..."

She captioned her post, "Help them breathe When India is gasping for air, every little action matters, every contribution counts. Our first shipment of oxygen concentrators has landed in Delhi this morning and now we need your help to procure more oxygen concentrators largely for hospitals that are still desperately in need. Please go to the link in my bio for more information and to contribute. A big thank you to @annada_outreach for joining hands with @daivikfoundation toward this life-saving cause. #helpthembreathe."
