The video was originally shared by Brut India and talked about children who have lost their parent or a parents due to Covid-19.

Kareena has been sharing posts educating public on the current pandemic. Earlier this month, Kareena had raised concerns over children who were orphaned due to the coronavirus pandemic. She had shared a post with the helpline numbers of organisations working for children.

"My heart goes out to kids left alone due to the pandemic—either they have lost one or both parents to the virus or the parents are in hospital. Please reach out and call the National Child Helpline (1098) to inform regarding children who are alone because of Covid-19. We cannot even begin to fathom the trauma," she had said. She had shared a picture with the contact number of an NGO as well.

In April, Kareena had also shared a video clip from Tom & Jerry, the popular cartoon show to highlight the importance of vaccination.
