17 Apr 2020

Bollywood celebrities are doing their best to help people in need during this time of crisis. With film shoots suspended and the nation under lockdown, the paparazzi have also gone out of work. After Rohit Shetty, actor Hrithik Roshan has donated money to help paparazzi as they do not come under any film association or trade union. Bollywood photographer Viral Bhayani took to his Instagram handle to express gratitude towards Hrithik Roshan for helping the paparazzi in the time of crisis. In such dire straits, actor Hrithik Roshan on his own, came forward and supported the paps who hail from lower middle-class families. Im really grateful to Hrithik for helping us in our crisis time. Many other actors have come forward and supported the film industry, but since we do not belong to any film association or trade union - we could not get the benefit which many other leading actors have come forward and announced. #hrithikroshan, he wrote.

Now with this virus it has devastated all of us. I have a huge team on the ground which works tirelessly to capture the celebrities. But now with this crisis my only source income has stopped and it has become extremely difficult to keep my family as well as 15 plus families who were all supported on the income I generated through subscription of my pictures and the paid posts of my Instagram.
