In the current situation where India still has to suffer from the impacts of the global pandemic COVID-19, a lot of Bollywood stars have lent their hands to many people in the country. Vivah actress Amrita Rao is not an exception as recently, she has decided not to take the rent from her tenants who are stuck at their hometowns during the national lockdown.

When Amrita Rao’s mother, who takes care of her investments, informed her about the same, the actress immediately decided to agree with their offer. She would not take the rents from March to May as well as waiving off the June and July rents.

Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic is an intense situation for everyone and people decided to stay safer along with their family. This situation calls for her to be an understanding person and help people in her best capacity, said Amrita.

In the meantime, she has also opted to keep on paying salaries to the household staff who have traveled back to their hometowns to stay with their families.

On the professional front, the latest project Amrita Rao was seen in is the 2019 movie, Thackeray. The next two movies of the actress will hit the screens once the filmings resume.
