In the one-and-a-half years since Arjun and Anshula Kapoor launched Fankind, they have enabled several wide-eyed fans to meet their screen idols, giving them an experience of a lifetime, while raising funds for charity. As the country reels under the second wave of the pandemic, the online celebrity fundraising platform has ramped up its efforts to lend a helping hand. Arjun reveals that the programme, through patrons’ donations and virtual activities, has raised Rs 1 crore over the past few months.


“The pandemic has made us stare at an abyss of suffering. It has made us all step forward and help as many people as possible. Anshula and I have tried to contribute through Fankind. We have helped about 30,000 people across India and raised Rs 1 crore to aid them,” says the actor. The platform, in association with local not-for-profit organisations across states, utilised the funds to provide monthly food kits and hygiene kits that included masks, gloves and face shields, to the needy. It also offered financial assistance to migrant workers in Mumbai to reach their hometowns. “It makes me proud that the platform has supported those in serious need.”
