Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his second address in the space of five days announced a country lockdown for 21 days. Speaking on the global pandemic, which has claimed more than nine lives in India with more than 500 people being infected, Narendra Modi said, "If 21 days not handled, then country and your family will go back to 21 years behind" [sic]

Supporting PM Modi's initiative, Bollywood celebrities like Vishal Dadlani, Rangoli Chandel, Esha Gupta, Jaaved Jaaferi, and many others said that this was the best decision to fight Coronavirus and probably the boldest move any country has made.
