Indian Tennis star Sania Mirza lashed out at those sharing cooking videos and pictures of food on social media amid the coronavirus pandemic crisis that has left thousands without proper income, food and shelter across the world. With most parts of the world under lockdown as the crisis deepens, many have been starving to death with no proper food or meal available. And sharing pictures of food amidst such distressing times is beyond decency, felt Sania who returned to professional tennis after a gap of two years due to pregnancy and the birth of her son Izhaan. Over a million people have been diagnosed with the pandemic while in excess of 58, 000 have died after contracting the virus. Neymar, PSG Striker, Donates $1 Million to Help Combat Coronavirus Outbreak.
