With world almost at a standstill with Covid-19 pandemic, the Marathi theatre productions had to cancel their shows, tours and the turmoil is yet to conclude. This has severely impacted the financial situation of the members of the Marathi theatre, especially the backstage artistes and crew who survive on daily wages. If Akshay Kumar had risen to help freelance journalists by volunteering a good amount to a few without even embarrassing them by asking whether they needed help, Ashvini Bhave who was last seen recently in Voot selects’ ‘The Raikar Case’, has now magnanimously come forward to support around 200 backstage artistes of Marathi theatre productions financially for the next four months.

Theatre celebrity and actor Prashant Damle who is actively involved in assisting Marathi backstage artistes thanked and recognized Ashvini Bhave’s endeavor on social media platforms Before stepping into her successful Bollywood career, Ashvini had briefly started her acting career with Marathi professional theatre and she continues to be rooted and in touch with all Marathi theatre units and artistes. The kind hearted actress is aware about how backstage artistes must have been facing financial crises hence she has voluntarily extended her support to stand for them in these testing times.
