I for India was a home-to-home fundraiser concert that went live on Facebook yesterday at 7:30 pm. The concert was a no-sponsors, only-donors approach where 100% proceeds from the fundraiser concert went to the India COVID Response Fund, to support on-ground relief efforts.
The vision for the concert by leaders from the entertainment industry, including Aamir and Kiran was three-pronged: to entertain those locked down in their homes, to pay tribute to those who are working on the frontlines and to raise funds for those who have no work and no home and do not know where their next meal is coming from. The concert features performances and personal messages from the entertainers from across the world.
With the nation facing a lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19, these efforts by personalities like Aamir inspire many others. Though this is not the first time he has extended his support to help the people affected by the lockdown, the personal touch that Aamir and Kiran gave in order to raise funds is commendable.
