“It (India) truly holds a very special place in my heart,” she stated, in a video shot on the sets of the latest episode of ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ that airs on Zee Café.

“In my visits, I’ve met so many wonderful people who’ve truly inspired me as a person which propelled me to write a chapter in my book too. Today, as we cope with the worldwide situation, my heart goes out to the people of India who’re trying hard to hold it together. Countless people, celebrities and organizations coming together and pledging support, people starting food centres and relief groups...and that is truly the need of the hour,” said the Charlie’s Angels actor.
