Hrithik Roshan Donates Funds to 100 Bollywood dancers

Bollywood dancers are among the worst affected during the coronavirus pandemic given that numerous film shoots have been shut down. Actor Hrithik Roshan has taken a step forward and decided to deposit money into the accounts of at least 100 of them, all of whom he has performed and worked with in the past.

Many of these dancers are daily wage workers and with the entertainment industry having come to a virtual standstill, they are in dire straits. The actor learned about these dancers from celebrity choreographer Bosco, which led to his decision.

Another dancer and coordinator for songs in the Hindi film industry Raj Surani shared that this help has come at a very critical time for the dancers, many of whom have retired to their villages. Some are struggling to pay rent, and one family even tested positive for the virus. He said the dancers were elated upon receiving text messages about the money transfer and were extremely grateful to Hrithik for his generosity in this hour of crisis.

Many of them thanked and appreciated him through their social media handles.

The actor also provided N95 and FFP3 masks for BMC workers and caretakers earlier. He had also been coordinating with the non-profit Akshaya Patra and helping those in need with food. He was part of the “I for India” initiative by several Bollywood celebrities that helped generate donations for those affected.

Rumi Jaffrey Knew of Sushant’s Depression Amitabh Bachchan Tweets Gratitude Messages from Hospital

Director Rumi Jaffrey was summoned for questioning to Bandra Police Station on Thursday in relation to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death more than a month ago.

In his statement, he told police that he learned of Rajput’s depression from alleged girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty about six months ago and that Rhea was continuously supporting and taking care of Sushant during this phase in his life.

The director said he had held several meetings with Sushant and Rhea with whom he was going to make a film as the lead pair and the shooting was scheduled to begin in May in London. However, things were going a little slow because of the coronavirus lockdown.

Jaffrey explained that he did not know the cause behind Sushant’s depression as they never spoke of personal matters during their film narration sessions. He said Sushant was very professional during their film meetings and spoke only about work.

Having said that, he also mentioned that in the last few months whenever he spoke with Rajput about the production of the film, he did exhibit clear signs of depression. Hence, he said, he never spoke with him on subjects of nepotism and about those films that were allegedly “snatched” from him.

In this connection, police have questioned other big names in Bollywood such as Aditya Chopra, Shekhar Kapur and Sanjay Leela Bhansali among others. A CBI probe has also been invoked by Rhea to understand the actual reason behind such drastic measure by Sushant.

In a recent tweet, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan thanked his millions of fans for their continued support that he called his “strength.” The actor is currently at Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

Bachchan wrote, “The hands that you raise in love and support are my strength..this I shall never ever allow to vanish from my system .. so help me God!” The post was accompanied with a photo collage from his Sunday meets with fans outside the gates of his house in Mumbai.

Several good wishes and prayer messages were posted by fans who wrote hoping for a hasty recovery of the actor and the well being of his family.

Amitabh has been active on social media even from his hospital ward keeping fans updated about the state of his health. Recently he wrote a post about how overwhelmed he felt when he heard about the recitation of his father’s celebrated poem “Madhushala” at a function in Wroclaw, Poland.

Amitabh has been fighting the virus since earlier this month. He along with other members of his family including his son Abhishek, daughter-in-law Aishwarya and granddaughter Aaradhya tested positive for the virus. While father and son were admitted immediately after diagnosis, Aishwarya and Aaradhya were admitted only later, after they started complaining of breathing trouble.
