Amid
the
Novel
Coronavirus
pandemic,
Bollywood
stars
have
been
urging
people
to
stay
indoors
and
practice
social
distancing
to
keep
the
deadly
virus
at
bay.
Salman
Khan
recently
shared
a
video
on
his
Instagram
page
in
which
the
superstar
spoke
at
length
about
COVID-19
and
slammed
lockdown
violators,
who
are
venturing
out
of
their
houses
and
putting
their
families
at
risk.
The
Dabangg
3
actor
began
the
10-minute
IGTV
video
by
greeting
fans
in
his
familiar,
Bigg
Boss
fashion
with
'namaste,
salaam,
sasriyakaal,
kem
cho'.
Salman
said
that
'zindagi
ka
Bigg
Boss'
has
begun
with
the
whole
country
staying
at
home
now.
The
star
said
he
went
for
a
two-day
'chhutti'
but
instead,
COVID-19
has
done
everyone's
'chhutti'.
Salman
revealed
that
he
is
currently
stationed
at
his
Panvel
farmhouse
with
his
mother
Salma,
sisters
Alvira
Agnihotri
and
Arpita
Khan
Sharma,
brother-in-law
Aayush
Sharma,
nephew
Ahil
and
other
friends.
He
narrated
an
incident
where
he
sent
one
of
his
friends
to
buy
basic
essentials
for
the
family
from
a
nearby
village.
On
being
stopped
by
the
cops
on
the
streets,
his
friend
took
off
his
mask
to
speak
to
them.
However,
the
cops
told
him
to
wear
it
back.
When
Salman
came
to
know
about
this
incident,
he
too,
told
his
friend
that
taking
off
the
mask
was
a
bad
call.
Salman
even
addressed
the
social
stigma
associated
with
the
Novel
Coronavirus
and
said
that
not
understanding
a
Coronavirus
positive
patient's
pain
is
anti-human.
He
also
mentioned
that
whatever
needs
to
be
done,
even
the
prayers
can
be
done
at
home.
The
superstar
said
that
if
people
had
followed
protocol
by
staying
indoors,
the
lockdown
would
have
ended
by
now.
Further
in
the
video,
Salman
spoke
at
length
about
those
putting
their
families
and
everyone's
else's
lives
at
risk
by
not
following
the
lockdown
rules.
He
said
that
because
of
such
people,
the
COVID-19
pandemic
has
got
worse
in
the
country
while
China
is
already
out
of
the
bad
phase.
The
star
slammed
the
lockdown
violators
and
said,
"Agar
aap
bahar
nahi
nikal
rahe
hote
apne
dost
aur
yaaron
ke
saath,
toh
policewaale
aapke
putto
pe
danda
nahi
maar
rahe
hote
(If
you
weren't
going
out
with
friends,
police
wouldn't
hit
your
behinds
with
canes).
Do
you
think
the
police
is
enjoying
it?
He
added
that
those
who
wish
to
kill
their
families
should
definitely
step
out."
Salman
urged
fans
to
be
more
grateful
of
the
frontline
warriors
and
said,
"Doctors
aur
nurses
aapki
jaan
bachaane
ke
liye
aaye
aur
aapne
unpe
patthar
barsa
diye
(You
started
pelting
stone
at
doctors
and
nurses
who
wanted
to
save
your
lives?)
Those
who
have
been
diagnosed
with
Coronavirus,
are
running
away
from
the
hospitals.
Wah!
Where
are
you
running?
Towards
life
or
death?"
The
actor
concluded
the
video
by
saying,
"Dua
karo
wo
naubat
na
aaye
jaha
pe
aapko
samjhaane
ke
liye
military
bulayi
jaaye."
