In another tweet, Sirsa informed that the 78-year-old actor has also arranged oxygen cylinders from abroad for the facility. "He is not just a REEL Hero but a Real life Hero," he said.

During the "VAX LIVE: The Concert to Reunite the World", which aired on Sunday, Bachchan had also urged the global community to help India, which is currently battling a deadly second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
"My country India is battling with the sudden surge of the second wave of COVID-19. As a global citizen I appeal to all global citizens to rise up, speak to your governments, your pharmaceutical companies, and ask them to donate, to give, to extend a helping hand to the public that needs it the most. Every effort counts," he had said.
Meanwhile, Bachchan will return to the small screen with Kaun Banega Crorepati season 13. Big B has been associated with the show for 11 seasons, while actor Shah Rukh Khan hosted season 3. The first episode of the show was telecast in 2000.
