Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will be transferring funds into the accounts of 7000 daily wage workers of the film industry, the Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees (FWICE) said on Sunday. The Bharat star recently pledged to financially support 25,000 daily wage workers who have been badly hit by the lockdown to contain the coronavirus spread in the country.
According to BN Tiwari, FWICE President, Salman Khan earlier made an initial payment of Rs 3,000 each to the daily wage workers of the film industry. "We had given him the final list of 23,000 workers so far, who were in dire need of financial help. He is going to transfer money in installments
as he doesn't want people to misuse it. He has transferred about Rs 3,000 to every worker and he will transfer money again after some time. We are thankful to him for helping our workers," Mr Tiwari was earlier quoted as saying.
Now, BN Tiwari said that the daily wage workers are sending blessings over the phone repeatedly thanking Salman Khan because this money is not less than any miracle for them in this difficult time..Giving more information on this, BN Tiwari said that there are about 1000 people in these associations who no longer have work. These include musicians, sound recorders, still photographers, art direction assistants and women employees.
