Read full story: Dwarf artistes reach out to Salman Khan and Sonu Sood for help

It's a tough time for everyone, including junior artistes in the entertainment industry owing to frequent COVID-induced lockdowns and shutting down of sets. But it's getting even harder for a certain group of junior artistes - the dwarf community. Many of them have not been working for over a year and a half now and they need help. Recently, the dwarf artistes of Bollywood reached out to prominent actors, Sonu Sood and Salman Khan for help as they have been out of work since the first lockdown. Dipak Soni, who has worked with actors like Akshay Kumar in the past, said, 'I did reach out to Sonu Sood and got a call from his office but they thought I wanted help but I told them my colleagues needed it and if can be done and I am waiting from their support. Another colleague of mine has spoken to Salman Khan's Being Human Foundation; we are now awaiting a reply for the same. Although about 8 to 10 members receive Rs 1500 from them.'
