SRK to support the toddler in viral Muzaffarpur station video

What's the story

Last week, a heart-wrenching video of a toddler trying to wake his dead mother at a railway station in Bihar went viral, thereby highlighting the unfathomable plight of migrant workers amid the ongoing coronavirus-induced lockdown restrictions.

Now, Shah Rukh Khan's non-profit organization Meer Foundation has come forward to offer help to the child.

Here's more on this.

Context

The woman died on train while on way to home

The woman in the video died while on her way from Gujarat to Katihar, on a special train meant to ferry migrants across states. Reportedly, she had been unwell owing to a lack of proper food and water.

Her plight wasn't too different from lakhs of migrants, who suffered a great deal to reach their home after the coronavirus-induced lockdown was imposed in March.

Work

What's up on the work front for SRK?

Separately, on the work front, SRK was last seen in Aanand L Rai's comedy-drama movie Zero (2018). However, the film garnered poor reviews from critics and performed miserably at the box-office.

Since then, the actor has taken a back seat of sorts. While there have been countless rumors about him signing one movie or the other, SRK has not given any official confirmation yet.
