Here’s a preview of just some key voices from the concert:

Priyanka Chopra –

“Unexpected, uncontrolled, unparalleled. The coronavirus has forged a brutal path across the world, and in the line of fire is well - you me and pretty much everyone across the world. Lockdowns, quarantines, social distancing - yeh hain humara naya normal. Khud ko surakshit rakhne ke liye hume ek dusre se dur rehna pad raha hai Phir bhi mann hi mann main hum ek saath hain, as always.”

Anoushka Shanka.

“Humans have an incredible capacity for hope and resilience, and finding new ways to help others who need more than we do. Every end is a new beginning".
