Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there are many people who are not being able to make their ends meet, specially the daily wage workers. In a tight situation like this, Hrithik Roshan has stepped forward again to financially support Cine & TV artistes and their families, who’ve been hit the hardest due to films/TV serials’ shoots coming to a halt. The actor has now contributed Rs 25 lakh to the Cine and TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) to help the 4,000 daily-wage artistes.
The senior joint secretary and chairperson, outreach committee, CINTAA, Amit Behl told Mid-Day, “A few days ago, KWAN, the talent management company that handles Hrithik, asked for our account details and promptly transferred Rs 25 lakh to our sister concern, Cine Artiste Welfare Trust [CAWT]. We will start distributing the money among the daily wagers, with those living hand-to-mouth being our top priority.”
The efforts of Hrithik and his benevolence of donating and to provide aid to the less fortunate is really respectworthy. Sushant Singh, CINTAA head and general secretary took to his twitter account to thank the superstar for his generosity. Both starred in the movie Lakshya and he used a line from the movie to express his gratitude.
He wrote: “‘कंधों से मिलते हैं कंधे, कदमों से कदम मिलते हैं !!’ A big shoutout to my friend @iHrithik for his generous contribution to help our fraternity @CintaaOfficial”
This is not the first time that the actor has shown concerns. Earlier too he has taken efforts and extended support and funds that aim to aid the people of the nation by arranging for N95 and FFP3 masks for the BMC workers and caretakers and also facilitated over 1.2 lakh nutritious cooked meals for the needy.
