As seen in the video, the office is now equipped with 22 beds, all placed at a safe distance. SRK also shared a message on Twitter to commemorate the effort. "We both are thankful that we could be a part of your attempts to help and care for Mumbaikars," he said.

When we say ‘mybmc’ then it’s with a sense of ownership and pride in all the efforts your teams are putting up to fight covid 19. We both are thankful that we could be a part of your attempts to help and care for Mumbaikars.
