“Namaste India!”

Drew Barrymore shared a heartfelt message dedicated to India

She spoke about her love and deeprooted connection with the country and also cited examples of some positive news stories about India that caught her attention.

In the message on Insta, dedicated to the people of India, she says, “This one’s a special message to the people of India. A lot of you guys already know of my deeprooted connection with the country and how I’ve always loved India for its culture, its people and so much more! It truly holds a very special place in my heart. In my visits, I’ve met so many wonderful people who’ve truly inspired me as a person which propelled me to write a chapter in my book too. Today, as we cope with the worldwide situation, my heart goes out to the people of India who’re trying hard to hold it together. My sincere wishes and prayers to you to stay strong and BELIEVE that we will come out stronger together.” Citing the example of some motivational instances that happened in India, she adds, “I came across a couple of articles online that truly invigorated a sense of faith and positivity in me, like a 110-yearold Covid-19 survivor in India, or how a man donating his entire life’s savings towards relief. Countless people, celebrities and organizations coming together and pledging support, people starting food centres and relief groups — and this is TRULY the need of the hour. A small contribution could really help and make a giant difference, and even save a life!”
