Infuriating to see people charging exorbitantly for oxygen: Alankrita
Like many good Samaritans who have gone all out to save people amid these tough times, Alankrita Sahai, too, has made it her mission help those in need. The actor, along with her sister, Apurvah Sahay Arzoo, is distributing portable oxygen in Mumbai and Delhi-NCR.
“It’s infuriating to see people run out of oxygen cylinders and others charge exorbitant price for them. This isn’t the time to make money,” she rues, adding, “I found someone to supply us oxygen cylinders at cost price. And so, I bought them in bulk and started distributing to those in need.”
Sahai has been using social media to identify people who are looking for oxygen cylinders. She and her sister are also helping initiative groups to arrange home-cooked food for Covid-19 patients. “As citizens of the world, we must contribute and help as much as we can and use our resources to help those in need. We’re also donating through some very credible sources,” the 27-yearold shares.
Sahai asserts that given the worrisome situation outside, one should try and do their bit without having to leave their houses. “No help is small; it’s a war out there. We don’t have to see whether the government is doing anything or not. This is a community responsibility. This isn’t the time to point fingers but to do your bit,” she urges.
