The
A-list
actors
of
Bollywood
have
again
started
coming
forward
to
help
the
needy
actors
of
the
film
and
television
industry.
After
Salman
Khan,
now
Akshay
Kumar
has
directly
transferred
money
to
several
actors'
accounts.
An
actor
named
Pranay
Narayan
confirmed
to
FilmiBeat
that
actors
have
received
Rs
3000
each
in
their
respective
accounts
from
Akshay
Kumar.
"Some
actors
who
are
daily
wagers
have
yet
to
get
any
help
from
the
government.
Our
industry
is
only
helping
us,''
said
Narayan.
It
is
learnt
that
Akshay
has
donated
an
amount
of
Rs
45
lakh
to
needy
actors,
after
asking
the
list
of
such
artists
from
CINTAA.
Akshay
was
among
the
first
Bollywood
celebrities
to
contribute
to
Coronavirus
relief
funds
such
as
Prime
Minister's
Citizen
Assistance
and
Relief
in
Emergency
Situations
(PM
CARES).
He
had
made
news
by
donating
a
whopping
Rs
25
crores
to
the
fund.
He
also
supported
healthcare
workers
by
donating
Rs
3
crore
to
the
Brihanmumbai
Municipal
Corporation,
to
assist
in
the
making
of
PPE
and
rapid
testing
kits.
Salman
Khan
was
the
first
actor
to
transfer
money
to
actors
and
technicians
at
the
beginning
of
lockdown
itself.
He
provided
aid
to
over
25,000
daily
wage
workers
in
the
film
fraternity
through
his
charitable
organization,
Being
Human.
Recently,
the
Bhai
of
Bollywood
celebrated
Eid
by
distributing
5000
ration
and
Eid
kids
to
the
needy
and
migrant
workers.
It
is
heartening
to
see
more
actors
stepping
in
to
help
people
from
the
industry
who
may
be
out
of
work.
