Many Bollywood celebrities have come forward and donated to the PM cares fund to help the needy. They have been trying their best to do what they can to make sure these people are taken care of.

The actress also appealed to the Cine and TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) to look into the matter. “This is just one incident that I know of because a friend of mine has worked in this daily soap: ‘Humari Bahu Silk’. But my heart breaks to see so many people suffering because they haven’t received their payments! This is the time when the daily wage earners need their hard-earned money the most!! I request the concerned producers to pls pay everyone their dues!! They have worked very hard for this, and it’s rightfully theirs! @cintaaofficial pls pls help them. It’s a tough time we all are going through… and I urge all employers in every field to please clear the pending payments of their employees,” the actress wrote. It is important that the workers are paid so that they can take care of themselves and their families. We must all make sure that we take care of our house helps as they are the ones who have always been there for all of us.
