Bollywood Actor Gurmeet Choudhary is a man of action. Not one to delay in his endeavours and promises, Gurmeet flew out to Nagpur in order to launch a makeshift hospital - Astha Dedicated Covid Hospital, which was formed in collaboration with Dr. Sayyed Wajahatali and team. Despite the challenges that one is currently facing when it comes to travel and with the deadly virus looming in the air, nothing proved to be a deterrent for the actor, whose goal is to help as many people as he can.
Nagpur has been plagued with Covid-19 in a terrible way and the people were in dire need of such a hospital to cater to oxygen demands, beds and patient care, all of which can be used to fight this pandemic. In spite of the risks that came his way, Gurmeet decided to be in Nagpur for the launch of the same.
