Based on search results, the claim that Bollywood actor Javed Hyder is a vegetable seller in the market to survive in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic is a false claim.

Javed Hyder denied the claim. The video is only acting for content on TikTok with the intention to motivate its followers not to give up in difficult times.

“No, I don’t sell vegetables at the market. I am still an actor until now. I just acted that video for content on TikTok with the intention to motivate my followers not to give up in difficult times. There is no big or small job, “Javed Hyder was quoted as saying by Detik.com
