Bollywood actress Sanjana Sanghi was recently featured in a Humans of Bombay in which she talked about how she helped out her domestic staff to get vaccinated. However, the actress faced massive social media outrage for allegedly using her domestic workers as ‘props’ and people even slammed her for glorifying an act of basic human decency. 

In the post, Sanjana had shared, “I’ve always been close with my selfless caretakers-be it Durga Bhaiya, Vimal Didi or Suman didi. Durga Bhahiya has seen me grow up, while both the Didi in the last few years have really taken care of me. I remember, when Vimal & Suman Didi had joined, I had an erratic schedule-I was juggling college while still shooting.”

In the same post, she talked about helping her staff members to get devices for their families and to get them vaccinated. She said, “Suman Didi has 4 kids who couldn’t attend school because they didn’t have virtual devices, so I bought it for them and answered all their, ‘Isko kaise chalate hai (how to use them)?’ questions. I even provided relief kits to their relatives who’d lost their jobs.”

The actress then added, “And then when the vaccine was finally out, my brother and I spent hours trying to book a slot for everyone! Durga Bhaiya, Vimal and Suman Didi were skeptical, but I explained why it’s important to get vaccinated. I assured them that we were all going to get it together. So, after getting myself registered, I registered the 3 of them! And we all got our first shot together.”

Sanjana also mentioned that her staff members thanked her for everything she had done. “4 days later, Suman Didi said, ‘Aapne jo humare liye kiya uske liye thank you. Par aap dusro ke liye bhi karte rehna. Yeh josh mat khona (Thank you for whatever you have done for us but please continue doing this for others also. Don’t lose this spirit)’ I was doing Covid relief work then, but I didn’t know she’d noticed. But she was proud of me and that encouraged me to do more,” shared the diva.
