While many celebrities and influencers are trying to help out people by doing their bit. Amid this, retired IAS officers criticized Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar for not doing more than just making appeals for donations. Twinkle Khanna responded to the criticism leveled against her and her husband.

Responding to Twinkle Khanna’s tweet seeking donations, former officer Surya Pratap Singh commented, “Twinkle Ji, your husband is among the richest artists in this country. Rather than pretending to help by collecting donations, it would have been better had your family shown a little more kindness.”

Responding to comments, Twinkle pointed out that they have been doing their bit in helping the people in need. “Have donated 100 concentrators toward this cause&in multiple other ways.

As I’ve said before, it’s not about me or you but what we can do collectively for those in need. it is Sad that at this point, instead of pitching in, we expend energy in pulling people down. Stay safe,” she wrote
