Recently,
R
Balki's
public
service
advertisement
(PSA)
on
the
Novel
Coronavirus
featuring
Akshay
Kumar
has
not
gone
down
well
with
the
netizens.
In
the
ad,
Akshay
can
be
seen
leaving
for
work
while
wearing
a
mask
and
urging
others
to
return
to
their
work,
while
taking
precautionary
measures
like
sanitisation,
use
of
mask
and
maintaining
social
distancing.
In
the
ad,
Akshay
also
propagates
the
message
that
the
nation
needs
to
be
made
'aatma
nirbhar'.
Unfortunately,
the
ad
failed
to
leave
a
positive
impact
on
the
people
and
it
is
being
criticised
by
the
netizens.
Some
slammed
the
ad
saying
that
India
is
still
not
completely
ready
to
tackle
COVID-19
owing
to
the
lack
of
hospital
beds.
Here's
what
other
netizens
have
to
say...
@vijay_timma:
"Promoting
disaster.
Please
check
the
situation
in
the
hospitals
and
then
make
such
videos.
Doctors
are
not
getting
adequate
PPE."
@deepika.hids:
"No
hospitals
are
ready
for
covid
.
Many
people
are
dying
because
they
don't
get
ventilator.
All
bogus."
@iamsagarshastri:
"@akshaykumar
Sorry
but
government
has
not
made
any
kind
of
arrangements
in
government
hospitals
for
Ordinary
middle
class
citizens,
People
who
are
rich
enough
to
afford
private
hospitals
their
chances
of
recovery
are
much
higher
than
government
hospitals
at
least
in
Mumbai."
@reenabarot:
"What
a
loser
movie,
how
can
u
have
a
senior
citizen
in
the
movie,
passing
wrong
msg."
@wonttakecrap:
"Mr.
Rajiv
Bhatia
aka
Akshay
Kumar,
I
really
appreciate
your
awareness
film,
but
sadly
it
presents
a
very
wrong
picture.
There
are
no
beds
in
the
hospitals
and
even
the
private
hospitals
are
refusing
to
admit
patients.
I
know
you
donated
a
huge
amount
to
the
PM's
relief
fund,
but
if
you
had
used
that
money
to
set
up
beds
in
hospitals,
it
would
have
been
better.
The
reality
is
very
harsh
and
saddening
sir."
