In a distressing situation like this, Hrithik Roshan has stepped forward again this time to financially support the paparazzi of Bollywood who are facing the brunt of the lockdown. Celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani along with many others thanked Hrithik for helping the photographers amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The entire world is right now in crisis, there was already the issue of downturn due to which there were salary cuts, jobs were at stake and media houses were shutting down. 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. In such dire straits actor Hrithik Roshan on his own came forward and supported the paps who hail from lower middle class families. I'm 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

Earlier, Hrithik had also supported the Cine & TV artistes and their families, who've been hit the hardest due to films/TV serials' shoots coming to a halt. This is not the first time that the actor has shown concerns and proactively provided assistance to the people.

 Time and again, Hrithik has taken essential efforts and extended support and funds that aim to aid the people of the nation by arranging for N95 and FFP3 masks for the BMC workers and caretakers and also facilitated over 1.2 lakh nutritious cooked meals for the needy. These philanthropic efforts by Hrithik are truly praise worthy and makes him a responsible superstar, we are lucky to have!
