Telugu actor Allu Sirish says there is a lot of stigma associated with the idea of endorsing Made In India products, and feels everyone needs to work towards breaking the perception.

"I realised during the early days of the pandemic that India is going to lose a lot of money and jobs during the lockdown. I wanted to help and contribute but didn't know how to. I have seen our Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal appealing to us Indians at various platforms to 'go local' and use more Indian made products to support the country and make our economy stronger," Sirish said.
