Shah Rukh Khan took to his Twitter handle to talk about the one thing we all have been waiting to hear from him. No, not any update on his next film. The other very important thing at the time - a word on COVID-19 pandemic. So, the film industry has come out on the internet to spread awareness about the spread of the virus. Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar and Kartik Aaryan have all shared video sharing information. Now, SRK, too, has urged the people to practice social distancing - the idea to remain away from crowded spaces, self-isolated in homes until the pandemic is contained.

Shah Rukh posted a video in which he says, "I appeal to all the people to avoid public places and to avoid commuting by trains and buses if not absolutely necessary. The next 10-15 days are extremely, extremely crucial. To fight this crisis, the government and the citizen have to put up a strong joint front." 'Living in a Tangled World': Twitterati Amused by the Similarities Between COVID-19 Outbreak and the Disney Film About Rapunzel.
