Aamir Khan's Ghulam co-star sells vegetables to earn a living, netizens laud his spirit

Javed Hyder, who featured in Aamir Khan's 1998 release Ghulam and has a few television shows to his credit, is now selling vegetables to earn a living. While the pandemic has crushed the livelihood of many, Javed is being lauded for his indomitable spirit on social media after actor Dolly Bindra shared his video on Twitter.

Mumbai: Actor Javed Hyder, who was part of Aamir Khan and Rani Mukerji's 1998 release hit film Ghulam, is nailing the unprecedented challenges thrown by COVID-19 pandemic. The actor is courageously adapting to change in the script that pandemic and the subsequent lockdown has imposed and is now selling vegetables to make the ends meet.

Just like millions of people worldwide, Javed apparently has been financially hit by the pandemic-induced crisis which has forced him to go back to the streets.

Javed's state of living came to light when actor and former Bigg Boss contestant Dolly Bindra shared a TikTok video of him selling vegetables on the streets. In the video, Hyder could be seen lip-syncing to the song 'Duniya Mein Rehna Hai', while selling tomatoes to a customer.
