Bollywood
celebrities,
from
Akshay
Kumar
to
Sanjay
Dutt,
have
been
pleading
their
fans
to
follow
the
lockdown
to
prevent
the
spread
of
Novel
Coronavirus
(COVID-19).
Disturbed
by
the
continuing
trend
of
some
people
who
are
stepping
out
amidst
the
lockdown,
actor
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
took
to
his
Instagram
handle
to
slam
such
behaviour.
In
a
video
message,
Neil
talks
about
the
crucial
need
to
follow
the
lockdown.
"I
know
it
isn't
easy,
but
we've
to
do
this
or
else
things
might
go
out
of
hand.
Reading
reports
of
people
misunderstanding
the
gravity
of
the
situation
and
stepping
out
of
their
houses
in
large
number
is
so
disturbing.
I
also
saw
videos
of
some
young
boys
stepping
out,
it
is
like
they're
treating
this
to
be
some
holiday,"
he
says.
He
also
lauds
the
work
being
done
by
central
and
state
governments
across
the
country
to
prevent
the
spread
of
the
virus.
"Given
our
population
they
are
doing
a
commendable
job
at
every
level," he
says.
Neil
further
adds
about
the
crisis
on
the
economic
front,
citing
his
own
example.
He
says,
"Two
of
my
films
got
stuck,
I
don't
know
their
future.
Yes,
one
can
say
I'm
financially
stable,
but
I
also
need
to
continue
working.
While
2020
might
take
an
exit
from
the
financial
calendar,
if
we're
alive
we
can
get
things
back
on
track
again."
Talking
about
how
they
are
taking
social
distancing
very
seriously
even
home,
he
says
that
his
family
members
are
staying
separate,
which
he
says
is
painful.
To
be
constructive
during
this
time,
Neil
is
writing
a
film,
a
web
show,
is
painting,
and
is
using
a
virtual
keyboard
to
compose
tunes.
