Drew Barrymore shares a heartfelt message for the people of India

An award-winning actress, businessperson, mother, humanitarian and a cultural icon — Drew Barrymore has shared a heartfelt message dedicated to the people of India. In a video shot on the sets of The Drew Barrymore Show, which airs on Zee Café, Drew says, “This one is a special message to the people of India. A lot of you guys already know about my deep-rooted 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. During 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.”

She continues, “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. I came across a couple of articles online that truly invigorated a sense of faith and positivity in me, like a 110-year-old Covid-19 survivor in India or a man donating his entire life’s savings towards relief. Countless people, celebrities and organisations 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! I’m doing my bit and urge you to do whatever is in your capacity.”
