As people across India came to their balconies to clap and cheer for health workers amid the coronavirus outbreak, many Bollywood celebrities pointed out those who chose to go out on the streets to celebrate, thereby breaking the curfew. Richa Chadha reacted to a video posted by a Twitter user from Mumbai and wrote, “Stupid level max. This is the opposite of a #jantacurfew.” The video has people coming together on the streets during the 14-hour curfew recommended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
