"Let's help put their smile back ... our neighbour hood vendors need our help to. Red heart," Suniel Shetty tweeted.

Swara Bhasker asked everyone to support such small businesses and become #VocalforLocal. "Dilli, chalo Baba Ka Dhaba par matar paneer khaate hain. Malviya Nagar mein. #SupportSmallBusinesses #VocalForLocal #ShowHeart (Delhi, let's go to Baba Ka Dhaba and have some matar paneer in Malviya Nagar)," she wrote on Twitter.
