After Modi called for Janta Curfew, several celebrities took to social media to support the initiative and urged people to join in, Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana pens down a poem on the same and shared on his Twitter handle.
The actor said he was speechless on witnessing the ringing of bells and plates across India during Janta Curfew on Sunday amid coronavirus outbreak. The actor has, however, penned a poem in which the actor begins with the words “aaj mere paas koi shabd nahi hain (I have no words today).”
Ayushmann shared a video in which he is seen reciting the poem in his balcony. He says, “Ladies and gentlemen, what I witnessed at 5’o clock was pretty historical. I think it was a great example of human bonding, the human spirit. We are all together in this” and goes on to recite a poem.
Through his poem, Ayushmann talks about how people aren’t much bothered by the lockdown now. He says the pollution levels are on an all-time low and the birds look happy.
The filmmaker’s wife Tahira Kashyap shared glimpses of them clapping in their balcony day on her Instagram account. Also sharing pictures from Mumbai, she wrote, “Scenes from my family in Chandigarh and Mumbai! These 5 minutes were surreal! I not only felt connected to my folks but everyone. We, thousands and millions, shared those 5 minutes of happiness together, the 5 minutes where courage and determination surged from a happy life state to dispel the darkness that is trying to shroud our lives. This connection is called Humanity. We were and are meant to be One! #weshallovercome.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Ayushmann will be seen in Gulabo Sitabo. It is an upcoming family comedy-drama film directed by Shoojit Sircar, produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, and written by Juhi Chaturvedi. Set in Lucknow, it also stars Amitabh Bachchan.
