Yuva Dancing Queen judge Sonalee Kulkarni also contributed to the CMO relief fund but didn’t disclose the amount. She wrote on Instagram, “I thank God and my parents that I have a home to live in during these difficult times, a few bucks and few people with me. As much as there is something to be done for those who are dependent on their day to day earnings, I have deposited as much money as possible in the CM relief fund. I have not disclosed the money because we should not have more discussion about the amount. Less or more I am a share in this fight. Let it reach to the needy and that is my only expectation" (PC -Instagram)

Subodh appealed to the Marathi fraternity to provide financial help to the daily wage workers of the industry who don't have any income right now. He said, “I hope everyone is safe and staying indoors. I know we are going through a very tough time but this too will pass away. This outbreak of Coronavirus has also brought a major financial crisis in the life of our crew members of theatre and film, who are paid daily. I think we should come together mentally and help our crew members" (PC -Instagram)
