In this situation the people of the showbiz are coming forward to lend a supporting hand. They are extending help to anyone from anywhere. Some are helping on an individual level while others have band together to provide support.

She said, “When I stand on the porch of my home and I see that rickshaw pullers are struggling to get passengers, it saddens me. I tried standing beside these people as much was possible by me for my peace of mind.”
She added, “At this moment those who live from hand to mouth are the worst to suffer. They are being forced to take to the streets for work. I urge all who are able to stand beside these helpless people.”
