Mumbai: Madhuri Dixit was one among the over 85 celebrities from India and across the globe who united to raise funds for India's fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The actor crooned Ed Sheeran's popular track Perfect for which she was accompanied by her elder son Arin on piano.

Madhuri has apparently imbibed the singing talent from her mother, Snehlata Dixit, who is a trained classical singer. The actor made her singing debut alongside her mother with Rangi Sari Gulaabi Chunariya, a track from 2014 release Gulab Gang. And now, she is all over the internet with her rendition of Ed Sheeran's superhit romantic track Perfect.

Madhuri was a delight to watch as she aced the Perfect cover with Arin in tow on piano. The mother-son duo pulled off a four and half minute gig for the four-hour digital concert which was live-streamed on Facebook on Sunday.

Besides Madhuri, the fundraiser saw a massive Hollywood and Bollywood participation.
