In the fight against COVID-19, the country is under lockdown putting a halt for all shooting and work for the entertainment industry. The lockdown has drastically affected a lot of daily wagers in the entertainment industry.

To support them, the Federation of Western India Cinema Employees has started a fund to support the daily wagers. Rohit Shetty, who is known for his philanthropy, has made a donation of 51 lakhs towards FWICE for the welfare of the daily wager.

Ashoke Pandit who is the President of IFTDA took to social media to shared a note of appreciation for Rohit Shetty's support. "Thank U #RohitShetty for your generosity towards the #DailyWage workers of our entertainment industry. Ur massive contribution of 51 lakhs towards @fwice_mum  in such times of crisis is really inspiring.," he captioned the video.
