In these dark and difficult times, there are hundred and thousands of migrants going without income, food and homes. That's why it's important that initiatives like I for India are able to garner our support. I have the luxury to be at home, surrounded by my family during this time. Please participate if you can."

I For India concert pays tribute to Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor. While Mira Nair spoke about Irrfan, Amitabh Bachchan paid tribute to Rishi.

Mira Nair says, "To speak of Irrfan Khan in the past tense is virtually impossible because Irrfan was always alive. He was alive to life. He was alive to whimsy. He was alive to hypocrisy. He was alive to friendship. He was alive to the street child. Irrfan was one of the most beautiful listeners I have ever known. He listened beautifully and harnessed it into his art.

In his work, there was never repetition. There was never something that you had seen before. There was always this inimitable honesty. This twinkle and this knowing sense that he had seen through it. He was bringing it to you with nothing that covered the purity of the intent.

I will miss you so much Irrfan, but you have left an extraordinary legacy of work because you always knew that you were special. And, that you had something that must be cherished, nourished and not fritted away. That's what you gave us, in each one of your roles.

You have also left an inspired group of extraordinary actors across the subcontinent who looked to you. Your flame is still in them. That is my only sucker, as I keep going in a world without Irrfan, in a cinema without Irrfan, but thank you. There are no words for what you have given us."

We should understand that there's no cure right now. It's our responsibility to show them empathy and kindness. My mom and dad are doctors. Many in my family are in healthcare, and they have kept their patients above them. They have taught me to take care of people.
