During this time of crisis, a number of Bollywood actors have come forward to help the needy and the daily wage workers in the industry.
According to sources, Shahid Kapoor is the newest addition to the list of Bollywood celebrities who have put forward a helping hand to Bollywood dancers who are adversely affected by the pandemic and the lockdown.
The actor recently transferred money directly to the bank accounts of 40 background dancers, who have worked with him in his initial days in the industry, for the next 2-3 months.
Raj Surani, a former Bollywood dancer who now helps dancers connect with filmmakers, was quoted as saying, “Shahid Kapoor recently transferred money to the bank accounts of dancers he has worked with. He has extended support to around 40 and has stated that he will help them for the next 2 to 3 months.”
“We shortlisted dancers from the days when he started his career with Ishq Vishq. It has been 17 years and they are in a bad condition, they may not be working right now. Apart from them we have even included those dancers who worked with him in Dhating Naach, Shaandaar, and Agal Bagal.” Now this is a man to look upto!
Additionally, Shahid Kapoor is not the only celebrity who is helping daily wage workers from the film industry amid the coronavirus crisis. Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Varun Dhawan among others have also helped daily wage workers financially during the lockdown.
