Yash wrote, “COVID-19 has proved to be an invisible enemy that has dismantled the lives of innumerable people across our country. My own Kannada film fraternity has been badly affected as well.”
He also added that this donation might not serve as a solution to the loss, but as a ray of hope to the workers. “While I am very well aware that this may not serve as a solution to the loss and the pains caused by the situation we are in, it is a ray of hope,” he added.
