Following this, Kalyani's sister working in Ahmedabad and her brother working in Noida, came down to Ujjain. Meanwhile, as essential goods and Remdesivir injections were needed for both her parents, Kalyani's friends who were living in Ujjain provided all possible to her parents and family. It was this incident that made her think about the situation being faced by people in the country. Hence, she made up her mind to provide all possible help to those who are in need.
