Akshay Kumar donates Rs. 45 lakh for daily wage earners

Akshay Kumar is playing a superhero, in real life. After a number of significant contributions towards various relief efforts aimed at fighting the coronavirus crisis, the 52-year-old Bollywood superstar has now donated Rs. 45 lakh to the Cine & TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA). The move is aimed at supporting the daily wage earners of the industry, who've been hardly hit by the ongoing crisis.

Details
He transferred Rs. 3,000 to accounts of 1,500 workers

According to a report in Mid-Day, Akshay has directly transferred Rs. 3,000 each to the bank accounts of 1,500 daily wage earners of the film and TV industry. "We are grateful to Akshay for helping in such trying times," Amit Behl, senior joint secretary, CINTAA, told the publication. "We have been receiving messages of gratitude from the 1,500 daily wagers he helped," Behl added.

Future
Akshay promised to transfer more funds in future

"The initiative was taken up by executive committee member and actor Ayub Khan. He roped in Jaaved Jaaferi to help connect with Sajid Nadiadwala and Akshay Kumar... Without any delay, Akshay requested for the list of our members," Behl further informed. He added that Akshay has promised to transfer more funds if the crisis deepens. Reportedly, there are about 10,000 employees associated with CINTAA.

Previously, Akshay contributed Rs. 25 crore to the Prime Minister's relief fund and Rs. 3 crore to Mumbai's municipal corporation for the procurement of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits.
