In his monologue, which was two minutes and 24 seconds long, Kartik targetted those people who were treating the coronavirus shutdown as a summer vacation and going on walks in the park, meeting their friends and playing cricket on the streets, among other things. “IPL, Premier League, NBA, F1, schools, colleges...everything is closed. Film releases have been postponed, but you won’t stop,” he said.

Kartik cited the example of Italy and China, where the coronavirus pandemic has claimed thousands of lives, and said that if we do not take precautions now, we are headed the same way. He urged his followers to not party, travel or socialise.

 

Meanwhile, Kartik expressed his gratitude towards the people providing medical and other essential services during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak during the janta curfew on Sunday. He shared a picture of himself banging a plate and wrote, “#TaaliBajaoThaliBajao. It’s DIVINE. It’s MAGIC. With everyone coming together, the ENERGY is through the roof!! We all Salute the Selfless Heroes !! Thank you @narendramodi sir for bringing the country together in this way!! #JantaCurfew #CoronaStopKaroNa.”
