Payal Ghosh feels celebrities should use their strong contacts to help people in COVID-19 crisis

Updated : Apr 30, 2021, 21:15 IST894 views

Just like other celebrities, actress Payal Ghosh is also using her social media platforms to amplify the voices of those in dire need of help amidst the coronavirus pandemic. The actress is quite busy arranging for hospital beds, oxygen cylinders in the Delhi-NCR region primarily. In a recent interview, Payal said that she has realised while working on ground that celebrities who have good contacts need to help people in crisis. Payal said, 'A crisis like this shows who our real heroes are. This is not the time to remain silent. No help is small. It is a humanitarian crisis out there. More than that on the humanity ground, we must help each other, this matters more than money right now. It is time for the big stars with big contacts to come forward and pitch in. I would like to request people who are in a much better position than me to please come forward and help with your contact. The state government and central government cannot do this alone in such a crisis of this scale.' She added, 'I am not following all social media posts blindly. I have volunteers who are verifying the information that is there on social media and authenticating that. I am speaking to medical professionals as well to know about bed availabilities.' While mentioning that besides Delhi-NCR, the actor is also working on requests from West Bengal and Maharashtra, Payal said, 'I am mostly working for Delhi-NCR because it is the worst situation right now. People are roaming around all night long and not getting beds. So that is what the team is doing. I am connected with Sonu Sood’s team and when I have any query which I am not able to fulfil, I am informing them and they are also getting back to me. We are all in this together and making it happen.' Last year, Payal had accused filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap of sexually assaulting her a few years ago. However Anurag had alleged Payal’s claims are baseless.
