Ayushmann Khurrana has lent his support to raise funds for India's fight against the coronavirus.
He has featured in a Bollywood anthem 'Muskurayega India' - an initiative to raise donations for PM-CARES Fund and the Maharashtra Chief Minister's Relief Fund.
The anthem also features Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Vicky Kaushal, Kartik Aaryan, Rajkummar Rao, Sidharth Malhotra, Taapsee Pannu, Bhumi Pednekar, Kriti Sanon, Kiara Advani and Ananya Panday.
Talking about the initiative, the 'Dream Girl' actor said, "In a crisis such as this every drop of help counts and as responsible citizens of this nation, we all have to do as much possible to help our brothers and sisters. We will need all the help to make our nation bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic. The moment I heard that the members of my industry are uniting for an initiative that helps raise funds, I readily agreed."
Ayushmann shared that he was touched by the lyrics of the song instantly because it fits the sentiment of the nation.
"This song resonates the situation that we are in today and hopes for a brighter and better future and it connected with me instantly."
