Mallika Sherawat drives around in Mumbai to show people breaking social distancing rules standing in queues outside liquor shops

The Maharashtra government has decided to allow standalone shops to open along with the liquor shops. During this lockdown 3.0, the sale of liquor saw long queues of people outside the liquor shops in Santa Cruz, Ghatkopar, Dadar, Chembur, Borivali and other places.

Mallika Sherawat has stepped out of her house in her car to give her fans live updates of the city. She shared a video where a number of people are seen waiting in the queues outside liquor shops in Mumbai. She captioned the video, “Social distancing? @sahanashetty3 #coronavirus #covid #covid19 #lockdown #lockdown2020 #socialdistancing #masks #crowd.”

The second phase of lockdown was supposed to end on May 3. But as the coronavirus pandemic is not showing signs of slowing down, the government had extended it for the next two weeks i.e., for 14 days, till May 17. The death toll is rising in the country though, the government is trying hard to pin it down. India has currently reported 46,474 infected cases out of which 12,849 are recovered. 1,571 people have lost their lives as on May 5, 11:21 IST.

Liquor is a major source of revenue in states and after the re-open of wine shops, the government has earned a lot of revenue. But look at the current situation. People are crowding places and standing in queues without maintaining the social distancing rules set by the GoI.

Talking about Mallika Sherawat, she was about to star in Rajat Kapoor’s film but due to the pandemic, it has been put on hold. Rajat Kapoor had told SpotboyE, “I am quite excited for my upcoming film with Mallika Sherawat titled RK RK. I am playing a director, called RK, who is making a film, where he is acting too as Mehboob and in the same film Mallika is his heroine. Ranveer Shorey is also part of it. When the edit of the film starts, one of the characters disappears.”
