The outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the lockdown in place in India to prevent its spread is taking a big toll on the entertainment industry, particularly the television business.

A source close to the development revealed, "The filmmaker had asked his manager to personally look into the matter and when Sattar was called by him, he couldn't hold back his tears. He told his manager how they were struggling on a daily basis for basic needs. Sajid came to an awareness of Sattar's situation, he was baffled as he didn't have money for food and that he would survive of people's offerings of food. An amount of Rs. 10,000 was transferred to Sattar on an immediate basis. Sattar isn’t the first who Sajid has helped, the filmmaker is taking care of 400 such workers who have been working on his film projects.”
For the unversed, Ghulam, aged 54 had to quit working a few years ago due to physical ailments. But post recovering from a surgery, he had just resumed working back in January as a lightman on Star Plus’ Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai when the pandemic bought everything to a grinding halt. This led to him facing a very hard time financially where he couldn’t even afford two square meals.
