Due to the countrywide lockdown announced in the last week of March, the daily wage earners in Bollywood are suffering to survive. Bollywood background dancers play an important role in several Hindi movie songs. These dancers are supposed to keep themselves in good health and good shape because they are supposed to share the screen with lead actors in the film. Several Bollywood dancers are facing serious problems as they are struggling to pay the monthly house rent or even medical expenses and some of them are even struggling to afford meals.
