Rashmika said, “Namaste everyone. It’s good to see that a union stands for the welfare of its members. Usually, whenever a function of our movies was held, you all come there and support us. Now, upon your call, I came here for you. This makes me happy. You all should be very happy. Always keep smiling. Thank you very much for inviting me to this event. It’s been a while since I met all of you. From now on, I will. meet you regularly.”
Ravi Yernani stated, “After we finished making films, they are carried to the audience by journalists only. You always lend great support in that aspect. So, we will stand by them for whatever help they need from us. I wish these insurance schemes to grow bigger and better. Thank you.”
TFJA General Secretary YJ Rambabu says, “Thanks to our chief guest, pan India heroine Rashmika Garu for coming here today upon our request. Thanks to Vishwaprasad Garu, Naveen Garu, Sahu Garu, and Jahnvi Garu. All these responded immediately and came here today because of the goodwill of our association. These people are doing a lot for us and when a question arises about what we are doing for them, recently we interacted with Dil Raju Garu and Chiranjeevi Garu on behalf of the association about contributing towards Cinema. While they are doing such big help to our journalists, we must also stand by them and help them as journalists when they face troubles. Especially during this social media age, a lot of nonsense is happening there.”
He added, “Due to this, celebrities are suffering the most. So much nonsense has been written about heroes and heroines. They can’t face this abusive behavior alone by themselves. They are busy with their movies and shootings. We gave our word that during those situations, we on behalf of our association will stand by them. We did three kinds of insurance for TFJA. The first one is Three Lakhs of health insurance for a four-member family. The remaining are term policy and accidental policy. Among these, if anything happens to anyone in the family, the total amount will be given to the remaining family. Under the accidental policy, if anyone met with an accident and was unable to work, we will provide Ten Thousand Rupees per week to that person. This plan might continue for five years. For these three insurances, we met a lot of big insurance companies. Ethika Insurance meets our criteria and came forward. We appointed two members on behalf of them and from us. They will be available for 24 hours for assistance. So far we have paid One Crore Ten Lakhs amount has been paid as insurance. We claimed more than Rs 90 Lakhs. No one wants to go to the hospital. Sox our association took that responsibility. During this process, the entire industry stood by us. They didn’t object to us in any aspect. Our TFJA will undertake many more programs in the coming future. I wish all of your support will continue for our TFJA in the future too. Thank You very much.”
Ethika Insurance delegate Siva says, “Thanks to everyone for inviting us here today. Our association with TFJA has been going on successfully for the last five years. Over these five years, we did 96 hospital claims. Among them, there are two death claims and one accidental claim. We provided 50 Lakhs and 50 thousand for that. Last year as promised by our director Rajendra Garu, we conducted health checkups last December. We hope our association with TFJA will continue in the future also. We wish no one to suffer. Even if anything arises, I promise that we will be available for 24 hours for you.”
