A few days ago, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi had requested its citizens to switch off the electrical lights at their homes and light diyas, candles or mobile flashlights in order to dispel the darkness spread by the novel Coronavirus outbreak.
Several celebrities like Superstar Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan. Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Nayanthara, Tamannaah amongst others were seen holding diyas and candles from their balconies.
However, what grabbed our attention was when Vignesh Shivan asked Corona to have some “Karunai” at first. In the first post, he wrote, “Dear corona! We only do this for God during our prayers! Now we are doing it for u! Jus requesting and praying that you would let us to get back to normal!! #GoCorona #corona please show come karunai. Go away please!”
In the next post, he has questioned the science behind this activity, “So scientifically speaking ... with so much of fire & light the atmospheric temperature would have increased by a few degrees and we would have successfully killed some members of the corona virus family! #IsThatAFact?”
