To which actress Swara Bhasker who is a very active social media user reacted to the video and said, "Thank you Shoaib Akhtar ji for the kind words and gesture of humanity! Deeply appreciated."

"It is impossible for any government to tackle the ongoing crisis. I appeal to my government and fans, to help India. India does need a lot of oxygen tanks. I request everyone to donate and raise funds for India and deliver oxygen tanks to them," Shoaib Akhtar said in a video on his YouTube channel.

Suresh Raina has also commented on the same and wrote, "India is battling a crisis today. The medical infrastructure is slowly collapsing, resources depleting and more lives at risk than ever before. There is no pain greater than seeing your loved one fight the battle." 

He added, "My humble request to everyone - if you have the choice to stay home, please do it to keep yourself, your family and your nation safe. Do your bit to help the doctors, police, paramedics and govt authorities do their job. That is the need of the hour!"
