Does a Gua Sha really work? Know all about the facial tool

<p>As the world comes to a halt amid the pandemic, there’s hope in the internet. In a rather sweet news, Bollywood mania has taken over Iran-born artist&nbsp;who used facial art to give a creative twist to a popular Hindi song featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.</p>

<p>The Iran-borne artist&nbsp;used Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol’s song from hit film ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ -- ‘Yeh Ladka Hai Allah’. The artiste raised in Holland made a sweet video where she is seen lip-syncing to the popular Bollywood track.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The artist, Samira M (_samboose_), a diehard <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/shahrukh-khan">Shah Rukh Khan</a> fan, then role-plays both stars from the Karan Johar film after painting both sides of her cheeks to separate one character from the other.</p>

<p>She captioned the video when she reported it recently: "And I am back with an other song of Shahrukh khan and Kajol! Because we all love them so much! And because I am still waiting for Shahrukh khan to find me and invite me😁😁!&nbsp;Song: "Yeh Larka hai allah", from kabhi khoshi kabhi gham movie"</p>
