The gesture was to show support and appreciate the hard work of our medical staff that is fighting against the deadly coronavirus. The initiative turned out to be a huge success with everyone, including Bollywood celebs joining the activity. Within no time, social media was filled with videos and pictures of B-town celebs.

Priyanka Chopra, who is in US at the moment, shared a video on her Instagram story and wrote, “Although I couldn’t be there in India to join, I am there in spirit.”
Sharing the video on his Instagram, Akshay Kumar wrote, “5 mins at 5 pm : With my neighbours taking a moment to appreciate those who do not have this luxury of staying at home and working tirelessly to keep us safe.
