In such difficult time, a group of freelance journalists decided to approach Amitabh Bachchan for help. A list of all needy journalists was prepared and send to senior bachchan and to everyone’s surprise, within 48hrs the list was approved by him after a basic enquiry.
Mr Amitabh Bachchan who has always been a helping hand to the needy from time to time in all difficult situation was so prompt in lending his support to them that he asked them to send their bank details and within 2days a satisfying amount was transfered in their account which the journalist didn’t imagine of. The amount was quite enough for them to sustain decently enough for around 3 months as informed by one fraternity member.

Another senior journalist expressed that ” I was worried about monsoon and how would i repair the leakage of my house roof as didnt have much source of income, but this help n support from Big B was like God sending someone in disguise”.
All the freelance journalists had their story to tell and how happy and blessed they feel to have received the financial help from the legend.
They all expressed their happiness in form of best wishes and blessings to the real Shehansha.
