Soon after many news report surfaced on internet claiming that the actor is facing a financial crisis due to lack of work owing to Covid-19 lockdown, that forced him to sell vegetables to survive his livelihood.
COVID-19 Pandemic: Aamir Khan’s Ghulam Co-Star Javed Hyder Is Selling Vegetables To Earn His Livelihood!
It all started when recently, Bigg Boss fame Dolly Bindra tweeted a video of him in front of a vegetables laden cart.
However, in an interview with TOI, Javed clarified that he is not dealing with any monetary issues and made the video as he was getting bored in lockdown.
Javed said, “I am not selling vegetables. I am an actor by profession and currently because of lockdown, I am not doing anything. As an actor to keep myself busy and occupied I started making musical videos on an app. My daughter was using that app and she encouraged me to make some videos. Everyone is dealing with stress. People are committing suicide, they are facing financial crunch, they don’t have work, seeing the situation that we all are in currently in I thought of making videos. I know so many artists who are dealing with lack of work. So, initially, I started off by putting a few videos with good messages. Then one day I took permission from a vegetable vendor and shot a video with his thela (vegetable cart).”
The actor added that if in future things go wrong for him, he won't mind selling vegetables as no job is small.
