Varun Dhawan lends financial support to Bollywood background dancers

Actor Varun Dhawan who played the role of a dancer in movies like ABCD 2 and Street Dancer 3D has come into the rescue for the Bollywood background dancers who have been hit severely hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The actor has provided direct financial support to the dancers with whom he worked in his movies. ## Due to nationwide lockdown, just like the other sectors, Bollywood also went into a complete lockdown that forced the many artists to lose their jobs. With lacking financial support, dancers made a collective video, appealing to producers and stars for help. Varun Dhawan listened to their plight and transferred money into the accounts of as many as 200 background dancers. ## One of the former background dancers, Raj Surani who is now a coordinator for songs, said, "Varun Dhawan has helped the needy dancers. He has worked with a lot of them in three dance films. He was very concerned about how the dancers are managing their livelihood. He promised to help them and try and address their problems".## However, Varun Dhawan is not alone in this great initiative, in the past, Sidharth Malhotra and Shahid Kapoor had also extended financial support to the background dancers. ## "There are many dancers who continue to face issues with their landlords over rent. There are others who have ailing parents and there are seniors who need medicine from time to time. We are thankful to all those who are helping the dancers. Though shooting has begun dancers will have to wait for really long time before they can go back on sets", added Raj Surani.## Earlier, Salman Khan had supported as many as 25,000 industry workers who, due to lockdown, lost their jobs and were going without money. Salman Khan directly transferred money into their accounts and tried to bail them out from this crisis. ## Stay tuned...
