Personal life

Actor Arun Bali, a member of CINTAA, had provided an amount of ₹10,000 (US$130) and Gajendra Chauhan, the vice president of CINTAA had provided a cheque of ₹50,000 (US$630), which his family refused. Actors Irrfan Khan, Manoj Bajpayee and Aamir Khan provided financial help for the Vyas family and for his treatment.
