Even though we've all been staying at home, A-list celebrities across the world have still been busy raising money for charity.
Now, a host of big names are coming together to live-stream a concert called iFor India, which will ultimately provide relief to the subcontinent amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
What is iFor India?
It's a huge concert that will help raise funds for the Indian Covid Response Fund, featuring leading actors, musicians, singers, sportspeople and entrepreneurs.
It was created by filmmakers Karan Johar and Zoya Akhtar.
"For the first time ever, the Indian entertainment industry and friends of the industry are coming together to organise the biggest home-to-home concert to ever happen from India," the organisers wrote on Facebook. "As the grand finale of the #SocialForGood Liveathon, the 'I for India' initiative is an attempt to bring people together in solidarity against the challenges that this global pandemic has thrown at us."
Who is involved?
A line-up of more than 80 stars are coming together to perform or leave personal messages. This includes famous folk from India, including A R Rahman, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Alia Bhatt, Aamir Khan and Virat Kohli.
There are stars from across the world also joining in, such as couple Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, brothers Kevin and Joe Jonas, Mick Jagger, Mindy Kaling, Jack Black, Russell Peters and Will Smith.

How much of the money will go to charity?
The Facebook page states 100 per cent of any donations will go to the Indian Covid Response Fund, as the social media platform will not be taking any of the money. "This is a people's fundraiser where every donation is transparently recorded so everyone can see how much we have raised," a statement says.
