Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has extended his support in empowering a group of women rag-pickers, who have taken it upon themselves to make and sell rakhis this Raksha Bandhan. Khurrana, along with wife Tahira Kashyap, for years has been supporting a Delhi-based non-profit organisation, Gulmeher -- a women's collective of waste-pickers turned artisans.

The 'Article 15' actor talking about the organisation said: "Tahira and I are deeply and emotionally invested in Gulmeher. The organisation is doing outstanding work to support this needy segment of the population in Delhi." He noted that the nationwide lockdown, owing to the coronavirus pandemic, has left these vulnerable groups "at most risk, and their flow of income has been impacted greatly."
