Rishi Kapoor's tweet came a day after the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation in this time of crisis, and provided words of advice and support to the citizens. Many Bollywood celebrities like Ajay Devgn, Twinkle Khanna, Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar, Diana Penty and Varun Dhawan lauded the PM's address to nation, and vowed to follow the 'janta curfew' on Sunday, March 22, as requested by Narendra Modi.
Many Bollywood celebrities have imposed self-quarantine on themselves and have advised their fans and followers to do the same in order to prevent the pandemic from getting worse.
