Kareena Kapoor Khan
Moved by the heartbreaking stories of those who have lost their life partners to the virus, Kareena Kapoor Khan has extended support to the Covid-19 widows initiative. On Tuesday, Bebo amplified covidwidows.in, which is designed to help women cope with the loss of their partners. She wrote, "We can't even begin to understand their pain, but we can help them find a footing again." Bebo urged everyone to share the information on social media.
In April, Kareena had shared a post on her social media account talking about the Covid-19 pandemic and requesting fans to follow safety norms. The actor shared a statement on Instagram urging people to understand the gravity of the situation India is in currently. She wrote, "It's unimaginable for me to know that there are still many people who do not understand the gravity of the situation our country is in. The next time you step out, or wear your mask under your chin, or flout the rules, spare a thought for our doctors and medical staff. They are at a breaking point both mentally and physically. Each one of you reading this is responsible for breaking the chain. Now more than ever, India needs you."

Mum-to-be Dia Mirza also informed that none of the vaccinations being used in India have been tested on pregnant women and lactating mothers.
