With ringing of bells, beating of metal plates and clapping, people across the country on Sunday evening expressed appreciation for medical and other staff who are on the frontline of the battle against the novel coronavirus.
The clanging sounds rang in the air as the clock struck five and people came out in balconies, lawns and terrace following an appeal by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to show solidarity with doctors, nurses and others involved in providing essential services, as the country observed an unprecedented 'Janta Curfew' to check the spread of the virus.
The Hindi film industry too came out in full support of Modi’s call to support the professionals working during the coronavirus pandemic. Many such as Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Himanshi Khurana, Kangana Ranaut, Bhumi Pednekar clapped, rang bells and blew conch to show solidarity.
While superstar Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai were seen on their terrace, Karan Johar was seen clapping on the top of his building.
