Vir Das slams celebs for posting videos of their Covid-19 tests; says, “You’re not the one struggling”

Actor and comedian Vir Das is quite vocal about his opinions. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the government has given certain relaxations on travelling but one has to follow all the safety protocols. Also, before shooting, everyone needs to undergo Covid-19 test. Many Bollywood celebs have resumed shootings and they have been sharing videos of them undergoing the swab test. Celebs like Katrina Kaif, Varun Dhawan, and Preity Zinta among others had shared the videos of their tests.

Taking a dig at the celebs, Vir Das requested them to stop posting videos of their Covid tests. He tweeted, “Celebrities, please stop posting videos of your covid tests. There’s someone in a full PPE kit one foot away from you who does this 30 times a day, door to door. You’re not the one struggling. Tilting your head back 30 degrees and managing not to sneeze is not engaging content.”

A Twitter user disagreed to Vir and wrote that by putting their videos, celebs would inspire fans to do the same. Vir responded, “Hear me out. Been seeing test videos for months now. Encourage people to get the test for sure. But don’t huff you just climbed a mountain. It’s a test, that came to you, at home. It sucks. Supposed to. Less for you, more for the frontline worker drenched in sweat. Thank em.”
