A
day
after

Indian
Prime

Modi
announced
a
'Janta
curfew'
to
be
followed
on

March
22,
to

the
spread
of
Coronavirus,
Bollywood's
power
couple,
Anushka
Sharma

have
shared
a

for
their

Urging

shared
a
video
message
and

it

Retweeting

"The
need
of
the
hour
is
to
absolutely
respect
and
follow
the
government's
directive.
Stay
home.
Stay
safe.
Stay
healthy."

The
video
begins
with
Virat
saying,
"We
know
we
are
all
going
through
a
very
difficult
time." Anushka
joins
in,
"The
only
way
to
stop
the
spread

is
by
acting
together."
Virat
continues,
"We
are
staying
at
home
for
our

and
for

else
as
well."
Anushka
concludes
the
video
by
saying,
"And
you
should
do
it
too,
to
prevent
the

last
night,
many
Bollywood
celebrities
have
extended
their
support
to
'Junta

I
support
#JanataCurfew
..
22
March
..
7
am
to
9
pm
..
I
applaud
all
fellow
countrymen
who
work
tirelessly
to
keep
the
essential
services
operational
in
such
extenuating
circumstances
.."

"#JantaCurfew
is
a
bold
yet
important
initiative
by
our
Honourable
PM,
which
is
a
self-inflicted
quarantine
on
Sunday,
March
22
from
7
AM
to
9
PM.
It
is
a
very
measured
and
sensible
way
to
fight
this
pandemic
by
not
creating
panic
yet
acknowledging
the
gravity
of
the
situation,"
