While extending his support to PM Modi, Arjun Kapoor wrote, "This was inevitable to stop the spread & it is literally what the absolute stupidity of a few has done. The country is shut till 14th April now.

Taapsee Pannu, on the other side, tweeted, "21 days! Not a lot for us in return of our lives. Let's do this everyone! 💪🏼 And hopefully by the end of THIS lockdown we surely will have a reason n time to celebrate. Until then let's get through one day at a time."
