“We have this one life, let’s do whatever we can to make a difference in this world! I am proud to announce the launch of the YOLO Foundation; an initiative to Create and Share Stories of Kindness. In these challengin­g times, the YOLO Foundation has partnered with several NGOs to help in whichever way we possibly can,” she says.

With an NGO called the Roti Bank, Jacqueline will be providing 1 lakh meals this month. Partnering with the Feline foundation, she has taken the initiative to help stray animals. Additional­ly, the actress will also be distributi­ng masks and sanitizers to the Mumbai Police who continue to work relentless­ly.

After a series of controvers­ial tweets, Kangana Ranaut’s Twitter account has been suspended. “This is horrible. We need super Gundai to kill Gundai. She is like an unleashed monster, to tame her please show your Viraat Roop from early 2000s,” said Kangana in her tweet. Twitter users refused to take the apparent incitement to violence in their stride. A lot of users called for the account to be blocked. Twitter responded by suspending the account.
