“People have started to bond again. For years many didn’t know who their neighbours were,” says a Twitter user. “Constructive idea,” says another.
Some had questions, and frankly, we’d like the answers too.
“How did they distribute the tickets,” wonders a Twitter user. To this, someone replied:
We’re also wondering what happens when someone wins a line or the house? And how are the prizes distributed?
Turns out this family also played tambola and they used WhatsApp to aid their game.
The video also impressed actor Raveena Tandon. “Are you serious !!?? Very innovative . Wonder how the prize distribution happens? RTGS?,” she tweeted.
Earlier, a video of people in a Gurugram housing society also went viral. It showed people singing Hum Honge Kamyaab and chantig the Gayatri Mantra.
