Power couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli merge their foundations to launch 'SeVVA'

Power couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have launched a new initiative called 'SeVVA'. The couple said that their non-profile initiative, a merger of their respective foundations - Anushka Sharma Foundation and Virat Kohli Foundation, aims to help those in need.

The couple, quoting Kahlil Gibran, made the announcement through a joint statement on Thursday.

"In the words of Kahlil Gibran ‘For in truth it is life that gives unto life- while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness’. With this sentiment in mind, we have decided to work together through SeVVA aiming to reach out to as many people as possible. SeVVA’s work won’t be confined to a particular issue as it will continue to strive for social good by championing humanity which is the need of the hour today,” Kohli and Sharma said.


The actress took to her Instagram handle to explain the meaning behind SeVVa: "So, with our heads bowed in gratitude we are offering SeVVA - our joint non-profit which stands for Se (of Self), V (of Virat), V (of Vamika) A (of Anushka). As Seva is always from self of self," she wrote.
