Akshay Kumar makes donations to CINTAA & sanitary pads to female daily workers.

1500 daily wage workers’ accounts credited after funds transferred by Actor Akshay Kumar.

Actor Akshay Kumar, who has massively donated to various causes due to the novel Covid-19 pandemic, has made a donation of 45 Lakhs to the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA), to help daily wage workers who are affected due to the Coronavirus lockdown.

Senior joint secretary of CINTAA, Amit Behl, in a statement said, “We are grateful to Akshay Kumar for helping in such trying times. The initiative was taken up by executive committee member and actor Ayub Khan. He roped in Jaaved Jaaferi to help connect with Sajid Nadiadwala and Akshay Kumar.” Behl added how without any delay, Akshay Kumar requested for the list of CINTAA’s members; he said, “We have been receiving messages of gratitude from the 1,500 daily wage workers we helped.” The megastar and producer Sajid Nadiadwala have directly transferred 3000 rupees into each member’s bank account.

The superstar didn’t stop at that; he also donated to support a campaign to provide sanitary pads to the female daily wage workers.

Akshay Kumar has made size-able donations during the pandemic, donating 25 crores to PM Cares, 3 crores to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and 2 crores to Mumbai Police Foundation to help them fight the Covid-19 virus.
