Mumbai: Actor Ali Fazal, who has donated money to his support staff, has urged people to pay their house help and drivers.
"It was high time someone pitched in for the cause. I saw this heartbreaking video in which a house help who hasn't been paid since April was recounting how she struggled to make ends meet. It's a reminder that Covid is not brought in by them but by the rich who travelled and came in contact with the virus," Ali said.
"What has happened is unfortunate and untoward but why should they suffer. Not only do they have no income coming in, it's evidently uncertain when they will get back to work. Due to the lockdown, the expenses have also gone down because people are no longer driving their cars around. We urge people to redirect the money they save on their vehicles to pay their help, drivers, and staff. We need to be there for each other at such times," added the actor.
