Actor Sanjay Dutt has supported and expressed concern towards dabbawalas who are said to be the lifelines of Mumbai. He wrote on his social media handle, “The dabbawalas have been serving us for decades & bringing food to so many Mumbaikars. Now is the time when we should come forward and support them! @CMOMaharashtra @AUThackeray @SunielVShetty.”
The post came in after politician Aslam Shaikh’s tweet “#Dabbawala, the second lifeline of #Mumbai,having more than 100yrs of relentless service standards in feeding the workforce every single day. #MahaVikasAghadi government is committed to stand with them in times of crisis due to lockdown.”
The actor had earlier used his celebrity status to bring attention to the causes. Sanjay had stepped in to feed thousands of families in Mumbai. Sanjay said, “We are going through a global crisis and it is at this time that everyone should stand with each other and do their bit to make it out of this situation. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in the position where I can extend my support and help others. That’s what I’m focusing on, currently. Providing food to the distressed is a small way of us making a contribution towards our society and country”.
