Pulkit Samrat decided to to help with the issue of the shortage of N95 and surgical masks. The actor came up with an initiative urging people to make their own DIY masks at home, leaving the N95 masks for the professionals who need them. He shared a video on his social media teaching fans to make their own masks at home, so the N95 masks could be provided to frontline warriors.
Pulkit wrote in his caption, 'Please leave surgical or N95 masks for doctors & volunteers, our frontline warriors! It's very easy to make. Washable & reusable.'
The N95 masks are designed for a close fit and help block 95% of test particles. Therefore they are essential to the people who are treating the virus, people at home do not need the mask.
Pulkit has been very vocal during crisis. He's participated in the Janta Curfew, shared tips on dealing with the lockdown & urged people to think of those on the frontline first. He has also been constantly updating his fans on how he has spent his time during this lockdown, teaching them ways to be productive during this tough time. This video is just another initiative by the star, and we can see that he is doing all he can to help during these trying times.
