Exclusive: Salman Khan steps in to rescue Bollywood’s ‘lookalikes’!

Bollywood actors are going all out in support of the nation and the citizens in times of the Coronavirus Crisis. With the film industry coming to a halt, just like the other businesses due to the lockdown, the daily wage workers have been at the receiving end. In such times, Salman Khan has been at his best serving the artists and labourers with funds and necessary goods.Earlier, the actor had pledged to financially help 25,000 daily wage artistes of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), since their livelihood has been severely affected due to the coronavirus lockdown.

And now news is that the Dabangg actor has also reached out and funded artists from AILAA, which is All India Look Alike Association. Sharing more details on the same, Prashant Walde, who has been working in the industry for long as a Shah Rukh Khan lookalike informs Bombay Times, “Arif Khan who’s the President of the association and I, as a Joint Secretary of the association we approached FWICE for help. Since there are no film or ad shoots and events going on, the lookalikes have been jobless. Some of them have been in dire state. So, we reached out for help. We are thankful to have grabbed Salman bhai’s attention. There are a total 162 lookalikes from all over India listed with us and the actor funded each one of us individually.” He further adds, “Each one of us received Rs 3000 under the name of Being Human Foundation. In a day or two we are expected to have Rs 3000 again. We are also getting Rs 2000 coupon to buy grocery.”
Talking about the same, Arif, who's an Anil Kapoor lookalike says, “I am really thankful to Salman, and BN Tiwari, the President of FWICE. They have literally saved many sinking boats.”
