He said that in times of crisis, they had to seek financial help from Amitabh Bachchan. They are yet to receive a reply from the legendary actor but are certain that he will help.

Several celebrities have come forward to contribute to help the daily wage workers. Tiwari said that they initially thought that their fund would be sufficient. However, with the extension in lockdown, they need additional help. He is hopeful that once Bachchan helps them, other celebrities will follow suit.
