Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has donated Rs 51 Lakhs to Federation of Western India Cine Employees(FWICE) for the daily workers of the entertainment business. Shetty contributed the amount with the aim to help the daily wage workers whose lives have been affected due to COVID-19. Due to the lockdown shoots of several films, TV shows, and web series have stalled and hence, the livelihood of the daily wage workers was severely impacted.
The announcement about the director's contribution was made by FWICE chief advisor, Ashok Pandit on social media. He took to Twitter and thanked Rohit for his gesture to support the daily wage workers of the entertainment industry. Before Rohit, Salman Khan also had asked FWICE for the account details of 25000 daily wage workers to transfer money into their accounts amidst the Coronavirus crisis. Several other Bollywood stars have also gone ahead and made contributions to the PM-CARES Fund and Maharashtra CM relief fund for all those whose lives have been affected by the Coronavirus crisis.
