BN Tiwari, president of Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) had said yesterday that Salman via his Being Human Foundation reached out to their organisation to help the workers.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is widely known for his philanthropy work and his good sense to help those who are in need.
A day after it was reported that actor Salman has volunteered to give financial help to 25000 daily wage workers from the industry in dire need of assistance, his father Salim Khan has opened up on how the family is assisting people during coronavirus pandemic.
"I don’t want to comment on (Salman’s contribution to the 25,000 workers) as I don’t know much about it. But our family has a principle — hamara paisa jahan jaaye, wahan dikhna chahiye aur kisike kaam aana chahiye (Our money should benefit needy).” He went on to say that for the last 15 days “we have been arranging meals for our building and Salman’s security guards. We must all look after our staff," he said.
BN Tiwari, president of Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) had said yesterday that Salman via his Being Human Foundation reached out to their organisation to help the workers.
"Salman’s Being Human Foundation has come forward to help daily wage workers. They called us three days ago. We have about 5 lakh workers out of which 25,000 are in dire need of financial help. Being Human Foundation said they will take care of these workers on their own. They have asked for account details of these 25,000 workers as they want to ensure that money reaches them directly," he told PTI.
Yesterday, actor Akshay Kumar also pledged to contribute Rs 25 crores to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s coronavirus relief fund.
For the uninformed, on March 18, the Producers Guild of India announced that they have set up a relief fund for daily wage earners impacted by the shutdown of film, television and web productions.
