A number of celebrities came together for a new Covid-19 awareness video amid the surge of cases, including the Omicron variant, in the country.

Priyanka Chopra, Amitabh Bachchan and others featured in a new Covid-19 awareness video.

The video began with Amitabh giving an important message, “Mushkil waqt abhi khatam nahi hua, isliye zaroori hai aaj khud se ek vaada karna, ek pakka iraada karna - ki beete kal se jo bhi seekha hai humne, use dhyaan mein rakhkar hi aage hai badhna (The tough time is not over, so it is important to make a promise to yourself and resolve to move forward keeping in mind the lessons learnt from the past).”

In the video, there are scenes of people wearing masks, sanitising, getting vaccinated, washing their hands and maintaining social distancing. Priyanka, too, is seen wiping down the handrail of a staircase with sanitiser to keep the coronavirus at bay.

“Niyam nibhana hai aur lagwana hai teeka, corona ko harane ka bas yehi hai tareeka. Rehna hai taiyaar aur poora zimmedar (We have to follow the rules and get vaccinated, this is the only way to beat the coronavirus. We have to be ready and completely responsible),” Amitabh said at the end of the video.
