Days back, he also launched an app that would provide jobs to migrant workers who faced unemployment during the pandemic. On his birthday, the ‘Dabbang’ actor announced a contract of three lakh jobs for migrants in association with leading brands.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote, “For my overseas brothers on the occasion of my birthday http://PravasiRojgar.com. My contract for 3 lakh jobs. All these provide good salary, PF, ESI and other benefits. Thanks AEPC, CITI, Trident, Quess Corp, Amazon, Sodexo, Urban Co, Portea and all others. #AbIndiaBanegaKamyaab”.
