From
Salman
Khan
to
Akshay
Kumar,
Bollywood
celebrities
have
taken
the
onus
of
supporting
daily
wage
workers
of
the
Hindi
film
industry
during
the
Coronavirus
lockdown.
Many
others
like
them
too
have
been
contributing
to
relief
funds
to
fight
the
spread
of
the
virus.
Meanwhile,
Hrithik
Roshan
and
filmmaker
Rohit
Shetty
have
taken
into
consideration
the
lives
of
paparazzi,
who
may
not
be
directly
connected
to
the
film
industry,
but
are
in
some
ways
dependent
on
it
to
earn
their
livelihood.
Thanking
Rohit
Shetty
for
his
contributions,
a
popular
paparazzi
page
on
Instagram,
Viral
Bhayani
wrote,
"Our
hertfelt
gratitiude
to
#RohtiShetty
for
supporting
the
families
of
paparazzi
photographers
by
directly
sending
out
payments
to
their
bank
accounts."
Another
paparazzi,
Yogen
Shah
wrote
on
his
Instagram
account,
"In
addition
to
his
general
goodness,
in
such
never
before
difficult
times
he
is
helping
paparazzi
photographers
by
depositing
payments
in
to
their
bank
accounts.
We
will
always
remember
and
value
your
kindness
and
support."
Viral
Bhayani
had
expressed
his
gratitude
to
Hrithik
sometime
back,
when
he
had
come
forward
to
help
out.
"I
have
a
huge
team
on
the
ground
which
works
tirelessly
to
capture
the
celebrities.
But
now
with
this
crisis,
my
only
source
income
has
stopped
and
it
has
become
extremely
difficult
to
keep
my
family
as
well
as
15
plus
families
who
were
all
supported
on
the
income
I
generated
through
the
subscription
of
my
pictures
and
the
paid
posts
of
my
Instagram.
In
such
dire
straits
actor,
Hrithik
Roshan
on
his
own
came
forward
and
supported
the
paps
who
hail
from
lower-middle-class
families," he
wrote.
The
paparazzi
have
also
been
hard
hit
by
the
lockdown
because
of
the
cancellation
of
all
events
in
the
industry,
and
the
strict
restrictions
on
movement.
