Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Mick Jagger, Will Smith and Mindy Kaling are among the dozens of musicians and celebrities participating in the "I For India" fundraiser concert to benefit coronavirus relief.

Priyanka Chopra says she is so happy to be a small part of #IForIndia- India's biggest fundraising concert.

In a short video, Will Smith says India holds a really warm and special spot in his heart.

He says it is really like a home away from home for him.

The show also featured stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Ayushmann Khurrana and AR Rahman.

Shah Rukh Khan performed a song ''Sab Sahi Ho Jayega', written by rapper Badshah.

King Khan's youngest son AbRam Khan also made an appearance in the video.

Donations through Facebook Fundraiser and UPI, the Indian payment system, will be matched by donors, including A.T.E Chandra Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Omidyar Network India and Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies.
