As
the
entire
nation
collectively
continues
to
combat
the
novel
Coronavirus
pandemic,
Bollywood
stars
have
been
doing
their
bit
to
help
the
government
to
fight
it;
right
from
urging
fans
to
stay
home
and
practice
safe-distancing
to
lending
financial
aid.
Akshay
Kumar
and
Varun
Dhawan
contributed
Rs
25
crores
and
Rs.
30
lakhs
respectively
to
the
Prime
Minister's
Citizen
Assistance
and
Relief
in
Emergency
Situations
(PM
CARES)
fund.
Hrithik
Roshan
reportedly
donated
Rs.
20
lakhs
to
Government
of
Maharashtra
to
procure
preventive
masks
and
other
requirements
for
BMC
workers
and
caretakers.
Amidst
this,
many
fans
started
questioning
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Salman
Khan
and
Aamir
Khan's
contribution
towards
Coronavirus
relief.
A
netizen
wrote,
"How
much
have
the
Khan
trio
given?"
(sic)
on
her
social
media
page.
To
this,
Salman
Khan's
good
friend,
actor
Nikhil
Dwivedi,
jumped
to
their
defence
and
said
that
Salman
Khan,
Shah Rukh
Khan
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
spend
"substantially" towards
social
causes.
He
tweeted,
"Salman
Khan's
BeingHuman
foundation
works
round
the
year.
Once,
I
myself
was
sceptical
of
it.
In
recent
years
I
hd
the
opportunity
of
observing
it
closely
&
was
pleasantly
shockd
at
the
kind
of
monies
it
spent.
Its
a
sincere
charity.
SRK
spends
substantially
too.
So
does
Mr
Bachchan."

Speaking
about
Coronavirus
aid,
Federation
of
Western
Indian
Cine
Employees
(FWICE)
president
B
N
Tiwari
recently
said
that
Salman
Khan
has
pledged
to
support
25,000
daily
wage
workers
from
the
film
industry
through
'Being
Human
Foundation'.
On
the
other
hand,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
has
always
mentioned
that
he
doesn't
like
to
publicize
his
charity
work.
The
actor
was
once
quoted
as
saying
in
an
interview,
"I
don't
like
talking
about
it
[charity].
A
lot
of
people
and
my
friends
always
tell
me
I
should
do
photographs
and
stuff
when
I
meet
some
people.
But
I
don't
believe
in
it.
It
is
a
true
thing
that
if
I
believe
in
a
cause,
I
should
do
it
silently
and
not
use
my
persona
as
an
actor
to
advocate
that."
