Amid the worldwide COVID-19 lockdown, it’s good to see people doing the best they can to help others. Bollywood’s Salman Khan is also using his resources and platform to help daily wage workers.
According to the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), the megastar’s Being Human Foundation has extended support to take care of 25000 daily wage workers.
Why 25000? It might be because the FWICE president previously mentioned that they employed 500000 daily wage workers under all their subsidiaries. Of these 500000 employees, only 475000 could take care of themselves for one month.

Across the Border
While we commend the effort made by the megastar from Bollywood’s House of Khans, our own Pakistani celebs have been nothing short of exemplary.
They might not have a platform like Salman Khan or the huge resources, but actors like Feroze Khan and Maya Ali have been organizing and delivering ration bags for daily wage workers.
