We often hear that Bollywood celebrities earn a bomb with just one film under a big banner. The A-list actors take the box-office collection by a storm and also receive tremendous love from their millions of fans. However, many filmy stars have made the righteous and generous use of the stardom (and big fat pocket too), to help their staff members. Recently, Alia Bhatt wrote two cheques worth Rs 50 lakh each to her driver Sunil and helper Amol, a few days after her birthday. This benevolent gesture of the young star has won her many hearts and fans cannot stop gushing about it.

The Highway actor has even mentioned that she cannot live without them. They have been with the young star ever since she made her big Bollywood debut in KJo’s Student of The Year in 2012. After her family, she considers them to be very important.
There are many other Bollywood celebrities, who have gone out of their ways to make their staff members feel special.
Here are six B-town stars who made a similar gesture:
Amitabh Bachchan
Amitabh Bachchan is one of the busiest Bollywood megastars. Despite this active work schedule, the B-town biggie made a guest appearance in a Bhojpuri movie titled Gangadevi, without charging a penny. The producer of the film was Sr Bachchan’s makeup man Deepak Sawant, who worked with him for more than 35 years.
Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan has been a motivating orator and an avid social worker. Be it empowering acid-attack victims to provide free medical treatment to the needy, SRK has emerged as a global star. However, the actor leaves no stone unturned, when it comes to gifting his staff members. A few years back, the Raees star gifted his bodyguard, Yaseen, a flat in Bandra as a wedding gift. Until then, the bodyguard had been staying with him at his home. Katrina Kaif, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan to be Roped in by Govt For Urdu Promotion: Report.
