Akshay Kumar isn't done with his generosity yet. While Sonu Sood is busy sending the migrants homes in buses that have been specially arranged by him, the Khiladi Kumar of Bollywood is ensuring that he empties his pockets for various organisations in need. After donating Rs 25 crore to PM Cares Relief Fund and later donating Rs 3 crore to BMC for helping them fight COVID-19 crisis in the city, he also provided financial help to Mumbai’s Iconic Gaiety-Galaxy Theatres. And he certainly isn't done yet. A recent update highlights the additional help he has offered to the workers of CINTAA.
As per reports in Mid-Day, Akshay has reached out to donate Rs 45 Lakh to the members of Cine & TV Artistes Association (CINTAA). Confirming the news about his donation, Amit Behl, senior joint secretary, CINTAA in his conversation with the tabloid said, "We are grateful to Akshay for helping in such trying times. The initiative was taken up by executive committee member and actor Ayub Khan. He roped in Jaaved Jaaferi to help connect with Sajid Nadiadwala and Akshay Kumar. Without any delay, Akshay requested for the list of our members. We have been receiving messages of gratitude from the 1,500 daily wagers he helped."

He had transferred a certain amount into their bank accounts with an assurance that he'll keep helping as and when he can.
