Aaryan has also been urging COVID-19 survivors in India to donate their blood plasma to speed up the recovery of those who continue to battle the pandemic.

Aaryan also shared a picture of Singh donating her plasma, adding: “I urge all survivors to check with their doctors and donate their blood plasma if eligible to help critical patients who are on the road to recovery.

Also a big Thank You Sumiti for spreading awareness.”

Aaryan also plans on interviewing first responders in India, including doctors, nurses, policemen and women and social workers from his home while India remains under lockdown.
