Shalin Bhanot Provides Ration And Essentials To Sex Workers Who 'Solicit Themselves For Rs 50'
When a disaster or a calamity strikes, the poor suffer the most.?
TV actor Shalin Bhanot, who was inspired by Sonu Sood's continuous efforts to help the poor and needy amid the pandemic, visited the sex workers of?Mumbai's red-light area Kamathipura. He was shocked to see them working for as less as Rs 50.?
In order to help them as they find it hard to make the ends meet during such trying times, Bhanot provided them with?basic amenities like masks, ration and other essentials.
Mumbai's biggest red light area houses over 1300 plus sex workers, who have been hit hard by the pandemic. Taking to Instagram, the Naagin 4 actor shared:
?"I suddenly fell desolate & bereft as my car made way into the tiny lanes of Mumbai's damned Kamathipura. During the second lockdown, I felt restless & wanted to put my able self to greater good. There is no dearth of generosity & humanity in this era we all call Kalyug. There are civilians moving moutains & helping the needy. Also emerged a massiah in @sonu_sood bhaiya who inspired us to walk the less traveled path.??
"I did my research & learnt how our red light area wasn't fortunate enough to get anyone's attention. I got through one social worker from the area. When he mentioned women solicit themselves for as low as Rs. 50. I was numb.?
"I wanted to get people together, raise funds for them but they always say, lead by example. So I did whatever little I could. Learnt about their immediate needs & tried to help about a 100 families.
"When I was just about to take leave, some women ran up to me, their eyes moist, they tied their dupatta for a mask, they joined hands & I haven't felt this hopeless in the longest time. I'll try my best but I also need you guys to come forward & help me. I'm genuinely looking for suggestions. Can we try to save our women?"?
On the work front, Shalin is set to make his OTT debut with the web series Inspector Avinash, which stars Randeep Hooda and Urvashi Rautela.
