Actor
Sidharth
Malhotra
has
come
forward
to
help
the
daily
wage
dancers
of
Bollywood.
The
actor
is
said
to
have
transferred
money
to
the
bank
accounts
of
over
150
dancers.
However,
he
has
not
disclosed
the
amount.
It
may
be
recalled
that
it
was
choreographer
Bosco
who
was
the
first
one
to
reach
out
to
dancers,
after
a
video
was
posted
by
dancers
appealing
people
to
help
them.
Bosco
has
given
his
cottage
to
dancers
who
are
being
thrown
out
by
their
landlords.
Choreographer
and
director
Remo
D'Souza
and
his
wife
Lizelle
have
provided
ration
and
transferred
money
to
the
accounts
of
some
dancers
directly.
Raj
Surani,
a
former
dancer
and
coordinator
has
been
reaching
out
to
the
industry
to
help
dancers,
whose
work
will
not
start
immediately
even
after
shooting
begins.
He
thanked
Sidharth
Malhotra
for
his
help.
Raj
Surani
said,
"We
are
thankful
to
Sidharth
Malhotra
who
has
helped
the
dancers."
Dancers
are
also
looking
out
for
alternative
careers
and
jobs
till
the
time
their
work
restarts.
Some
of
them
have
started
applying
for
call-centre
jobs.
There
are
others
who
are
ferrying
medical
equipment
and
medicine
for
hospitals,
in
their
own
auto-rickshaws.
A
while
back,
Filmibeat
reported
that
Akshay
Kumar
had
transferred
a
large
sum
of
money
into
the
bank
accounts
of
Bollywood
actors
who
were
in
need
of
the
help
due
to
the
financial
crisis
they
are
facing
in
the
lockdown.
Akshay
transferred
Rs
45
lakh
to
the
bank
accounts
of
a
number
of
daily
wage
actors.
The
Bhai
of
Bollywood,
Salman
Khan
was
the
first
actor
to
start
transferring
money
to
needy
actors
and
technicians
of
the
film
fraternity.
Bollywood
has
come
out
in
a
big
way
to
support
not
only
members
of
the
film
fraternity,
but
also
daily
wage
workers
and
migrant
workers
across
the
country,
who
are
severely
affected
by
the
Coronavirus
pandemic.
