With India facing a terrible second wave of the deadly Covid-19 and lakhs of positive cases emerging every day many national and international celebrities are coming forward to spread awareness.
After FRIENDS star Jennifer Aniston expressed her concern over India’s Covid-19 surge, Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar prayed for the nation.
Ali Zafar on Wednesday shared a video message for India, conveying his concern and prayers even as the country struggles to battle the raging second wave of Covid-19.
Speaking in a mix of Hindi and Urdu, Zafar said: "People of India, you are facing tough times and pain one cannot imagine. In Pakistan, too, people are troubled. Maybe these tough times will make us understand what humanity is, and the fact that there is nothing bigger than humanity. In these difficult times, the people of Pakistan and I stand with you and pray for your wellbeing. We all are praying to God that our difficulties get resolved soon and there is happiness everywhere in India, Pakistan and everywhere else in the world. Let's all stand together and pray for each other during these difficult times."

Zafar has been actively spreading awareness on his social media page.
Recently, he spoke about the hardships faced by migrant workers in trying times such as these and wrote a note which reads as :“We become worried about small things while playing with cell-phones in air conditioned rooms, but we can’t even imagine the scale of hardships faced by a labourer on daily basis. Our #labourers are unsung heroes who don’t even get the admiration and wages they deserve.”
Ali Zafar found success as an actor in Bollywood. He was seen in several popular films including "Dear Zindagi", "Tere Bin Laden", "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" and "Kill Dil".
