In return to the generous gesture by India for sending hydroxychloroquine to 55 countries, Switzerland expressed its solidarity with India by projecting the Indian Tricolour on the Swiss Alps. With several Bollywood stars praising the effort, Lata Mangeshkar is the recent one to join the bandwagon.

Apart from Lata Mangeshkar, one of the notable names to react on the same was Ranveer Singh.
