This was the second mass activity undertaken by the citizens after the nation went into lockdown. Earlier, people were asked to clap or clung utensils to express gratitude to those at the forefront of the COVID-19 fight.
Ayushmann earlier announced to contribute to the PM-CARES Fund to help combat the COVID-19 crisis across the nation. "I’m pledging my support to this noble initiative by PM @narendramodi ji.

Ayushmann and Tahira are also helping women rag-pickers hit by lockdown through a non-profit organisation. Talking to ANI about their contribution, the actor said: "Tahira and I have been associated with Gulmeher, a non-profit organization, for years and we are doing every bit possible to support these women who are absolutely distraught now".
Besides spending time with his family, Ayushmann is also channelising his inner artist with wife Tahira and kids. The actor even penned heart-melting lines amid the COVID-19 crisis. "Ab ameer ka har din ravivar ho gaya, aur gareeb hap apne somvaar ke intezaar mein. Ab ameer ka har din seh parivaar ho gaya hai, aur gareeb hao apne rozgaar ke intezaar mein," he wrote.
