Veteran actor Paresh Rawal on Tuesday took to his Twitter handle to share a plan on what to do once Coronavirus pandemic is over. With the country on a 21-day lockdown, most businesses and daily-wage workers have been hit with losses and Rawal's appeal is on supporting 'local business' after India flattens the disease curve.

Hera Pheri actor suggested that we should take holidays in India, buy from local brands and support local businesses as they will find it difficult to recover otherwise.

Meanwhile, "Tandoori" cookery is also an Indian method of cooking over a charcoal fire in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven.
