A lot of celebs are contributing financially or in some other way to help the nation deal with the pandemic. From Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif to Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar, a lot of celebs have come forward to help the government and various institutions. Now, Ekta Kapoor takes a great step to help her employees as the work at her production house has stopped due to the lockdown.
Kapoor is giving up her one-year salary of Rs 2.5 crore at Balaji Telefilms to ensure her employees dont suffer during the lockdown, which was announced last month owing to the coronavirus pandemic. Ekta took to her social media on Friday to make the announcement.

“It is my first & foremost responsibility to take care of the various freelancers & daily wage workers who work at Balaji & who are going to suffer immense loss due to no shootings in the current scenario and uncertainty over the indefinite period to follow.”
“I would thus forsake my one years salary that is Rs 2.5 crore at Balaji Telefilms so that my co-workers don’t have to take a hit during this period of crisis and complete lockdown. The only way ahead, is Together. Stay safe, stay healthy,” concluded the producer, who has given several hit daily soaps such as “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi“, “Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii“, “Kasautii Zindagii Kay” and “Naagin“.
The internet lauded Kapoor for the same.
