While we thought that TV actors are living their best life, a lot of them have also been impacted by the Coronavirus situation that has resulted in a long lockdown. There werenât any shoots happening and actors are also as out of work as we are.

Recently, actor Ronit Roy revealed that he has been jobless since January and his money is also drying up now. He also said that he is responsible for feeding 100 families and he is selling things to support those families.

He also told TOI in an interview, "Personally, I haven't made money since January. I have a small business which was running and is now shut since March. Whatever I have, I am selling things to support about 100 families that I am responsible for. I am not a very rich man, but I am doing it. So, these Production houses and channels that have these big, lavish offices which are visible from 2 Kms away from a highway, they need to do something.â

Ronit also persuaded the people who are going through a financial crisis to not give up easily and hang in there. He also urged the production houses to clear the payments of actors who are in need.

He also said, "I would like to request both the parties that if you can't pay the full amount at least give them some amount so that they can meet their daily expenses. You know that person, you worked with them for six months, 1 year it doesn't matter you should pay them. At least give maintenance so that they can survive. People have families at home, elderly parents, kids. Sustain your immediate people. And people who are facing financial crisis, I would like to tell them, I understand your problem completely.â

âI know what it means to stay hungry. I could survive for four years because I did not have a family. Akela aadmi bhukha so sakta hai but bacchon ko bhukha nahi sula sakta. All I want to tell them is that this too shall pass and don't take any wrong step. Stay strong, hang in there, tough time calls for tough measures so hang in there we will emerge victorious and stronger. Lots of love please take care, everyone,â he added.

We hope things get better soon and the economic crisis comes to an end soon.
