Mumbai : Fiona Diamonds has launched a campaign called “Real Heroes - Real diamonds of India” to appreciate and express our gratitude as a society to the true heroes of the coronavirus battle. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the course of our lifestyles drastically over the last few weeks by affecting people across the globe. This has not just cooped us all up in our houses but also made us ponder upon several things. One being the fact that during a crisis as such, one can truly identify the real diamonds amongst us, the true heroes; the frontline workers.

We are all in this together and we will have to remain united against the virus while maintaining due distance in order to sail through and emerge victorious out of this battle. Healthcare professionals, public servants, essential service workers are at the front end of this battle fighting it out with the pandemic up close, placing their lives at risk from time to time to ensure that the rest of us remain safe and sound at home. The campaign puts forth the idea that out of respect for these warriors, the absolute least we can do is stay at home and observe the quarantine guidelines.

Actress Delnaaz Irani expressed her gratitude towards the frontline warriors. “They are the real heroes, the real diamonds of India. Thank you Fiona diamonds for making me a part of this grand initiative, I pledge to shine as a responsible citizen of my country.” she said.

Actress and social media influencer, Vahbiz Dorabjee said, “I feel extremely proud of our front-line workers and essential services workers that are fighting the deadly virus. They are the real diamonds. I’m glad to be a part of this initiative by Fiona Diamonds.”

There are people working relentlessly day and night for betterment of us all and yet some of us are sitting in the comfort of our homes still cribbing and complaining.
