Immediately, many leading film personalities came forward and offered help.

Dinesh Hingoo is financially fine, family clarifies; Amitabh Bachchan’s office, Boney Kapoor and Rakesh Roshan offered assistance

However, today it has come to light that the actor is financially fine. This was disclosed by senior industry member Rajesh Vasani of Paras Publicity. He wrote on his Facebook post, “Following last night’s post being circulated on Inshorts and Moneycontrol, which I also shared within the industry, I felt it was important to verify the facts. I managed to contact Mrs. Jamuna Dinesh Hingoo through Aruna Irani. She clarified that the family is well settled with two sons and grandchildren, and she is absolutely fine. It appears that there may be a misunderstanding in the report. He thanked everyone for their concern and for remembering Dinesh Bhai and his contribution.

Rajesh Vasani then went on to say about Dinesh Hingoo’s wife, “It is also worth noting that Jamunaben herself is a respected Gujarati stage artiste, known for her work in several plays, notably Preet Piyu in Panethar, where she famously portrayed the Japanese character, Miss Mikotaka.”

Lastly, Rajesh Vasani praised the senior members of the industry for immediately coming forward to help Dinesh Hingoo, “I also thank and thank all those who immediately came forward to support the cause, like Rakesh Roshan ji, Boney Kapoor ji and many others including our association. Support was even offered from Amitabh Bachchan’s office. However, after confirming the facts with his wife, I expressed my thanks and informed him that the family Well organized and does not require any assistance.”
