Social distancing is the norm of the day and there is no way around it. Every now and then, different police departments take to social media to remind people to maintain proper distance with one another if they are going out to buy essential items or for any other emergency. Nagpur Police took to Twitter to share a reminder about the same but this time using a scene from the famous film Chennai Express.

Featuring Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan, the scene shows the duo sitting apart on a bench. The department just added one simple word in the image and it has now left people in splits – while conveying a very important message in the process.
