Kapanlagi.com - Some time ago, Shahrukh Khan was criticized by netizens for allegedly not providing assistance to address the coronavirus outbreak in India. However, the actor did not respond to the accusations with anger, but instead showed tangible evidence that he is actively involved in tackling this pandemic.
As reported by Pinkvilla, Shahrukh Khan has provided assistance to several cities through the foundations he has appointed. And most recently, he converted his private office into a quarantine facility for affected individuals without any charges, meaning it is free of cost.
Together with Gauri Khan, Shahrukh transformed his office and equipped the 4-story building with all the necessities for the quarantined individuals. The office is intended for women, the elderly, and children.

The assistance provided by Shahrukh Khan has been well received by the Mumbai City Government. They are grateful because SRK has done a noble act during India's total lockdown.
"We thank @iamsrk & @gaurikhan for offering their 4-storey private office building to expand quarantine room capacity with various needs for children, women, and the elderly," wrote the official Mumbai Government Twitter account, @mymbc.
The post from @mymbc was then reposted by SRK's official company account, @redchilliesent. They invite everyone to continue supporting each other during this difficult time.
"Support makes everyone stronger. And in our fight against Covid-19, we must support each other as a unity in society. Let's help each other and win this battle together," wrote admin @redchilliesent.
2. India Lockdown Total
Unlike Indonesia, which implemented limited quarantine, India implemented a total lockdown. This caused chaos in India, with waves of people crowding the streets on foot and looting food supplies.
The Indian government implemented a very strict lockdown. The police did not hesitate to beat people who dared to leave their homes, while the quarantine capacity was insufficient.
Shahrukh Khan's gesture of providing his office as a quarantine facility was considered very helpful to the local community. Because not everyone can stay at home in these difficult conditions, Shahrukh and Gauri provided all the necessities without charging any fees.
