Superstar Salman Khan has a big heart and it is no secret that he has always come forward to help the needy. The actor is supporting multiple NGOs and he has his own organization ‘Being Human’ through which he supports several social causes.

While the 21 days lockdown imposed in the country is extremely vital and helpful in order to curb Coronavirus but the economy of the country is gone for a toss and it has affected the daily wage workers the most. Bollywood celebrities have been doing their best at helping these workers by donating. Salman has lent his support to 25,000 daily wage workers in this time of crisis and apart from that, the ‘Khan- Daan’ is also supporting their staff as well.

The actor’s father Salim Khan told Mid-Day, “I don’t want to comment on it (Salman’s contribution to 25000 workers) as I don’t know much about it. But our family has a principle- Hamara paise jahan jaaye, waha dikhna chahiye aur kisi ke kaam aana chahiye. We have been arranging meals for our building and Salman’s security guards. We must all look after our staff.” 

A source from Salman Khan Films (SKF) reveals that as soon as the suspension of shoots was announced mid-March, the studio dispersed the monthly salary to its employees. “Salman is also taking care of the ration of those at his studio who are in dire need,” the source revealed.
