International Nurses Day 2020: Kajol, Sanjay Dutt and other B'town stars thank nurses for selfless service
While everyone is locked inside their houses amid the coronavirus pandemic, our doctors, nurses and other paramedical staff have been performing their duty standing at the frontline. While a lot of people give credit to the doctors, the contribution of nurses remains overlooked. This is the reason why the International Nurses Day is celebrated on May 12 every year. The day which began in 1965 marks the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale who is the founder of modern nursing. On this day, people from all over the world thank nurses and the medical personnel for their selfless service. In the wake of the same, many Bollywood stars like Abhishek Bachchan, Kajol, Sanjay Dutt, and others took to their social media to appreciate their efforts.
Taking to Twitter Junior Bachchan shared a creative artwork and wrote alongside, "Respect and gratitude! Thank you heroes. InternationalNursesDay."
