New Delhi: The Coronavirus pandemic has engulfed all the countries of the world including India. PM Narendra Modi announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown to combat the further spread of the deadly virus. The number of positive COVID-19 cases has increased alarmingly in the past few days. The daily wage workers have been severely affected by the lockdown as they are left with no jobs. While Federation Of Western India Cine Employees  and Bollywood celebs including Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are doing their bit by extending financial assistance and providing month ration, there are several people who haven’t been lucky enough to get the support.

One such person is Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor’s look-alike Arif Khan. We might not recognize Arif Khan by his name but he has worked in several films as a body double.

Arif, who played Anil Kapoor’s body double in ‘Nayak’, has a large family to look after. He also takes care of the families of his two deceased brothers.

Khan, while talking to an entertainment portal, revealed that he has only Rs 3200 left with him during these tough times.

"I have only Rs 3200 left with me to run my family. The situation has never been so bad for us. I earned decent but have many mouths to feed, so, I have not been able to save much," Arif told SpotboyE.

Arif further said that he is hopeful that FWICE will come to his rescue during the unprecedented times.

"FWICE President, B.N Tiwari and Secretary Ashok Dubey have been doing a great job for daily wage workers. I really appreciate their efforts and I know they will soon help me out too," he told the portal.


As per the words of Anil Kapoor, Arif Khan is always in character. He had earlier tweeted, "Follow your dream no matter what is his attitude! I remember meeting him once as well, he’s always in character and that’s commendable!"
