Big B appreciates on-duty sanitation workers outside 'Jalsa', shares pictures

NEW DELHI: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan decided to spread some cheer.

The Big B took to Twitter to express gratitude towards sanitation workers who were on duty outside his Mumbai residence, 'Jalsa'. The actor appreciated them for their efforts to keep the surroundings clean.

On Sunday, the 77-year-old 'Piku' star shared a few pictures of the 'well wishers' cleaning the street outside his bungalow, saying it was as if the meet-and-greet hasn't stopped after all.



Amid the nationwide lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, the actor had discontinued his 38-year-old ritual of greeting his fans outside his house on Sundays. The actor had announced in March right after the lockdown was imposed that he was calling off the weekly activity amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

Like many Indian film personalities, Bachchan too has extended help in the lockdown, pledging to provide ration to support 1,00,000 households of daily wage workers and distribute food packets to those affected by the health crisis.

The actor has also been part of several public service announcements related to the coronavirus, including a remotely developed short film, "Family", also featuring Rajinikanth, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Diljit Dosanjh, among others.
