Ace producer Ekta Kapoor has now got her clout of Indian TV celebrities in a Bigg Boss style setup for a special message on social distancing at the time of COVID-19 lockdown.
Actors like Shehnaaz Gill, Sidharth Shukla, Mouni Roy and many others have come together in a special video as they shot in their respective homes while in quarantine.
It’s very much like how Bollywood actors came together last month for a short film ‘Family’ asking people to stay at home and follow best practices of social distancing.
