The Fanney Khan actor shared the video on his Twitter handle where he voiced the problems faced by the workers. In the clip, he can be heard saying, “the person who is your driver, mostly goes home bare feet. The person who looks after the lives of many often does not get his salary on time. The person who delivers pizza within half an hour at your doorstep is mostly starving. The person who constructs buildings often sleeps with leaked ceilings of his own house.”
