A statement by Yash Raj Films said that all the members of the film industry who are currently unemployed and have 1 more direct dependents on them are only eligible for the initiative. The statement further gave the details where one can apply and get the much-needed support.

The statement read, “Yash Chopra Saathi Initiative’ will transfer Rs. 5000 to women and senior citizens while they will also give ration kits to the workers (family of 4) for an entire month. A statement was recently released by a trade analyst on Twitter where the details of it are mentioned. “The Yash Chopra Foundation’s Saathi initiative is here to help you in this time of unprecedented crisis. We know how hard the last few months have been for you again. Paying for ration, school fees, medical expenses and home rent – your cost has only piled up and we are here to support you to the best of our abilities.”
