Bollywood
celebrities
have
taken
the
onus
of
spreading
awareness
and
the
right
information
during
the
Coronavirus
crisis.
Kartik
Aaryan,
who
has
been
sharing
funny
videos
about
the
situation
to
lighten
the
mood,
recently
shared
an
important
message
about
self-medication.
The
actor
reposted
a
message
about
the
harm
one
can
inflict
upon
oneself
from
self-medicating.
He
urged
everyone
to
seek
medical
attention
if
they
show
symptoms
of
COVID-19,
and
not
to
listen
to
anyone
apart
from
healthcare
experts.
The
message
read,
"Dear
All,
It
is
my
sincerest
request
to
all
those
who
are
Covid
Positive/Covid
Negative
&
discharged/
families
of
those
in
the
hospital
or
anyone
who
has
access
to
information
in
hospitals
regarding
what's
going
on...
PLEASE
do
not
share
information
regarding
medication
on
social
media
or
in
interview.
Please
use
your
platform
and
words
carefully."
It
continued,
"For
those
who
are
listening
to
heads
of
state
of
different
countries
and
celebrities
speaking
about
specific
medications,
please
understand
that
the
ONLY
person
you
should
follow
is
your
doctor.
Please
DO
NOT
self
medicate
under
any
circumstance.
There
has
been
loss
of
life
due
to
this.
I
was
in
the
hospital,
I
know
that
doctors
do
not
use
a
one
size
fits
all
approach
to
treat
us.
When
given
any
medication,
we
are
very
closely
monitored,
for
any
adverse
side
effects.
Medication
should
be
taken
under
the
guidance
and
supervision
of
doctors."
"I
cannot
stress
this
enough:
If
you
are
feeling
any
symptoms,
please
stay
calm
and
visit
an
authorized
hospital
to
get
help,"
it
concluded.
