Bollywood Is Helping Spread Awareness During The Time Of COVID 19 And It Is Heartwarming
In the time of this Corona crisis, we have all been advised to stay at home and stay safe. Governments and experts from all over the world are encouraging social distancing, practicing extra hygiene and we’ve been instructed to tread with caution. While some people out there still do not understand the seriousness of this fatal pandemic, what’s nice to see is that there are several celebs who are being responsible and setting the right example for the rest of us. One such celebrity is Sonam Kapoor, who traveled to London with her husband Anand Ahuja recently, came back and self-quarantined. The actress decided to stay in isolation before the final test results to keep others safe. Everyone else should also be doing the same because it is the responsible thing to do.
After her visit to London, the actress and her husband decided to keep themselves isolated from others but that did not stop her from having a conversation with her mother-in-law. Anand Ahuja took to Instagram to share a video of Sonam having a conversation with Priya Ahuja, her mother-in-law and it has gone viral on the internet. In the video, we see Sonam wearing white on white and interacting with Priya through a glass window. Across the building is Priya reciprocating the same way and the video is just too cute to miss. Anand Ahuja captured this adorable moment and posted it on his Insta story and captioned it #QuarantineTimes.
