Thousands of people in India have been left in need of basic necessities after the coronavirus lockdown. Many celebrities have come forward to help monetarily as well as materially.
Quite a lot of them are making videos and uploading pictures online to show how they are contributing. TV actor Jay Bhanushaali is quite upset with this kind of behaviour.
In a series of tweets on his official account, Jay wrote, “Sorry to say but distributing food to needy has become a PR stunt for lot of so called actors..if you really want dua/blessing from them or God pls leave you phones home… could see ppl not being comfortable with cameras around. #COVIDIDIOT #lockdowneffect #HumanityFirst”

The actor requested people to donate as much as they can but not click pictures or videos. He said doing so make these acts look like PR activities and not genuine gestures.
