The whole of India is under a  21-day nationwide lockdown as a safety measure to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

“Contribution every small bit is a contribution. You sitting at home and doing work is a contribution in these times. Me paying my house helpers and helping them out when they are not being able to work in these times is a contribution,” Deep Dasgupta told.
