Celebrity couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma announced on March 22 that they are merging their respective foundations- The Virat Kohli Foundation and The Anushka Sharma Foundation, and launching a new initiative called SeVVA.

In a joint statement, the Indian cricketer and Bollywood actor said that it is a non-profit initiative and is meant to help people in need. SeVVA will not be confined to any particular cause. The couple said the organisation will continue to strive for social good by championing humanity which is the need of the hour today.

They said, in the words of Kahlil Gibran, ‘For in truth, it is a life that gives unto life- while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness’ and with this sentiment in mind, they have decided to work together aiming to reach out to as many people as possible, through SeVVA.
