The world is currently fighting against deadly Coronavirus. The novel COVID-19 that has claimed the lives of lacs all over the globe till now, is continuing spreading its wrath.

Shah Rukh said the world must come together to defeat the deadly Coronavirus.

Nonetheless, it is impacting the rest of the world too. Battling this crisis is going to take us time, and this is the time to take action. Right now, I'm working with a team of people to provide protective equipment, quarantine centers, food and essentials to patients, hospitals and homes. But to beat this worldwide pandemic, the world must come together. So, find out, how you can contact World and private sector leaders, and ask them to continue to contribute to WHO's Solidarity Response Fund, so they can help to continue the hardest of areas and people who desperately need it. India, planet Earth, tonight, we are one world. I love you, stay strong," Shah Rukh said in his pre-recorded statement.
