Mumbai, Jun 1 (IANS): Actress Payal Ghosh has distributed sanitisers and masks among the less privileged in Oshiwara here.

"There are so many who still don't have masks and sanitisers. The virus is spreading very quickly in Mumbai and I thought to take this moment and help the needy with these essentials," she said.

"I have distributed them myself. They can save lives. I urge everyone who can, to come forward and help," she added.

Meanwhile, she recently celebrated 11 years of her first release, the Telugu film "Prayanam".

" 'Prayanam' means travel and it takes me on a time travel now. I had people helping me with my lines as I didn't know the language. Right from my director sir to my co-stars to the writers, everyone helped me," she said.

She recalled, about shooting for the film: "We shot at an airport and it was just beautiful. It seems just like yesterday when I gave my first shot. I am very happy and content with my journey and 'Prayanam' will always be special to me. I was barely out of school then."
