Salman Khan transfers money to Bollywood’s daily wagers; decides to do it next month as well

A while back, Salman Khan had pledged his support to daily wage earners from the film industry. It is no secret that Salman is big on charity and he never backs down when it comes to helping those in need. Now, the latest report states that Salman has already started transferring money in the accounts of those daily wage workers. And that’s not all, the actor has decided to do it next month as well.

Salman will be supporting over 25,000 daily wage workers from various crafts of the film industry. Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) received the account details from 19,000 workers. Some workers backed out saying they have a stable condition and instead want the ones in need to be helped.

As per a report in India TV, General Secretary of FWICE Ashok Dubey confirmed saying, “Salman Khan had asked for the details of 25,000 workers. We received details from 19,000 member workers. Out of which 3000 workers had already received 5000 rupees each from Yash Raj Films. So we have sent the details of remaining 16,000 workers to Salman and he has started the money transfer. Soon everyone will receive the money.”

Whereas the actor’s manager and spokesperson Jordy Patel said, “We have started distributing money to all individual accounts of the daily wage workers as per list sent by federation about 18550 approx. Salman feels that this crisis is not going to end soon so he has pledged that he will again give the workers money next month to overcome their daily needs and accordingly he will decide on the third month as well”.

Well, that is an extremely kind gesture by Salman in this time of crisis and similarly, Bollywood celebs such as Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Hema Malini, Rajinikanth, and few others have also made the donations for India’s fight against Covid-19.
