These celebs have come forward to donate clothes, accessories and memorable items owned by them for their fans to get a chance to shop for a cause. The initiative is an endeavor to mobilise the youth of the country and utilize their love for shopping for the greater good – “Shop for a Cause.”
Commenting on the initiative, Rannvijay Singha said, “In these unprecedented times, the country needs us to stand together, albeit virtually, more than ever. We can only sail through these difficult times if we help one another. I’m happy to contribute a few of my special pieces from my closet for a disruptive initiative like MTV No Fever Sale, in association with SaltScout. Shop from our closet during the sale and do your own bit to help fight the pandemic.”

“The pandemic shook the nation in ways none of us would have ever imagined and it breaks my heart to see people suffering. Amidst all the chaos, it is imperative that all of us come forward to help each other in the best possible way, and I’m happy to do my bit for a humbling initiative like this one which endeavors to mobilize the youth of the country to bring about a change”, added Shilpa Shetty.

Dr. Manu Gupta, Co-Founder, SEEDS said, “The unprecedented Covid crisis has jolted the nation, taking away people’s loved ones and causing untold suffering. We continue to be at the forefront in driving change. SEEDS’ association with MTV for a bold initiative like MTV No Fever Sale has hugely boosted our confidence of doing even more for fellow citizens.  The unique celebrity closet fundraiser is an endeavor to mobilize youth of the country, with whom we hope to ultimately reach out to most marginalised communities in the country who have limited means and access to timely health care and vaccination.”

SaltScout Founder Komal Hiranandani added, “We’ve been delighted to see MTV, as the country’s premier youth platform, lead by example. Through this novel initiative, they have brought together the country’s top talent with its fan base to make giving back more engaging and to raise awareness about the many ways in which each of us can contribute. We are incredibly grateful to them, the panel of celebrity participants – the likes of which have never before been assembled, and the fans, who have been sincere in their efforts to help those in need every step of the way.” 
The fans can look forward to some of the most loved items of their favourite actors.  The sale will have Taapsee Pannu’s fashionable black jacket and a white shirt she wore for the promotion of her new film, Shilpa Shetty’s gorgeous dress, Sunny Leone’s stunning skirt and top outfit worn on one of the seasons of MTV Splitsvilla, Sushant Divgikar’s scintillating gown worn at the Vogue Beauty Awards Red Carpet, Raftaar’s swanky cap and shoes, Rannvijay’s trendy sneakers, Varun Sood’s stylish jackets and shoes, Aparshakti Khurana’s funky shirt and a classy hat, Darshan Raval’s cool jackets, and so  much more, that will give the fashion-conscious shoppers a chance to own their favourite celebrity’s belongings and extend help to those in need.
