The lockdown that happened over three months ago due to the Coronavirus outbreak has caused a lot of problems, especially to the people working in the Hindi film industry. A few of them are background dancers. Times of India now reports that Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor will be extending help to the dancers he has worked with in his career.

Raj Surani, a former background dancer, spoke about this to the daily and said, "Shahid Kapoor recently transferred money to the bank accounts of dancers he has worked. He has extended support to around 40 dancers and has stated that he will help them for the next 2-3 months. We shortlisted dancers from the days when he started his career with Ishq Vishk."
