Salman Khan couldn't stop his inner 'angry man' from coming out. And the reason is justified. Despite numerous appeals and attempts by the government to avoid venturing out from home, some are simply not following the rules. In a 10-minute video posted on Instagram on Wednesday, Salman lashed out at all those violating the lockdown. Stressing on the need to stay home at this time, the superstar even referred to the current scenario as 'life ka Bigg Boss'. The actor went on to say that if people would have followed the lockdown seriously, then the government would have eased the guidelines by now. He even referred to all those escaping from hospitals and pelting stones at healthcare workers as 'fools'.
There's a lot for us to understand from Salman's video on covidiots. Here are our five takeaways.
- Salman Khan said, "Zindagi ka Bigg Boss shuru ho gaya hai" and those violating the lockdown are only putting their and others' lives at risk. Blasting at those strolling on the streets, Salman asked whether they want to lower India's population. "India ki abaadi ko kam karna chahte ho," he asked.
- Urging people not to discriminate those being tested COVID-19 positive, Salman said it is inhumane to not understand their pain and suffering. Talking about the chain of coronavirus spread, Salman said that those who are not taking precautions and are negative now will soon be infected. They will then transmit the disease to their family, then to their localities followed by city and finally to the entire nation.
- The superstar in his video also urged people to not visit temples and mosques to offer prayers. Emphasising that the god is inside us, Salman said, "Namaz padhna hai ghar par karo, puja-paath karni hai, ghar par karo. Bachpan mein yeh seekha tha ki bhagwaan hamare andar hai. Agar Bhagwan ke ghar jaana hai, Allah ke ghar jaana hai, toh niklo bahar".
- Salman even addressed the attack on health workers. The superstar asked them whether their action is right or wrong. He then goes on to answer that if they were doing right thing, the coronavirus and lockdown would have ended by now. Expressing his disgust over the attack, Salman said that it is shocking to see corona warriors being physically assaulted. "Ye kamaal hai. Doctor-nurses aapki jaan bachane ke liye aaye, aapne un par paththar barsa diye," he said in the video.
- Salman said that those who think they can't get infected are fools. "Unke wajah se poori Hindustan chal basega," he said. The superstar then went on to ask if covidiots think they are powerful, do they have guts to see their family members die in front of them. "Maan liya bade taqatwar ho aap, bade bahadur ho aap. Itne taqatwar ho aap ki apne pariwarwalo ko kandha doge. Itna jigra hai aap mein?". Salman said that we are in midst of COVID-19 crisis because of few."Aapke actions ke wajah se yeh lockdown badh raha hai, poora Hindustan ek lambe samay ke liye ghar pe baithenge," the actor said in his video posted on social media.
