As soon as she recovered from Covid-19, Bhumi Pednekar kickstarted her online community, Covid Warrior, who identify and source hospital beds, plasma and oxygen, thus helping those affected by the infection. The actor is proud that the initiative that started with a handful of volunteers, including sister Samiksha and her, has multiplied over the past three weeks to boast over 200 volunteers.
"Covid Warrior has used the power of social media to fight a common enemy. I'm overwhelmed with the love that people have showered on one another in this moment of crisis. We have a long way to go before this virus is curbed, but I'm spending every second to fight it and save someone," she says. The volunteers, who comprise influencers, students, homemakers and professionals, work round the clock.
