He further added along with Salman, a list of 35,000 senior citizen workers has been sent to Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films who has agreed to help out these workers.”
Earlier Salman Khan through the Being Haangryy food trucks initiative has been supplying food to frontline workers, health workers, cops etc. Rahul Kanal, Yuva Sena leader has collaborated with Salman Khan for the noble cause.
