As India observed Janata curfew on Sunday amid spurt in Coronavirus cases, many people took to their streets post 5 pm to celebrate in several cities. Many Bollywood celebrities expressed their displeasure as numerous videos of celebrations surfaced from various parts of the country.
The prime minister had urged people to come out to their doorsteps or balconies to express gratitude to those who have been providing essential services during this crisis. However, soon social media was flooded with videos of people out on the streets, celebrating by banging plates, dancing, taking out rallies in huge numbers and even playing 'Corona Garba.'
Celebrities like Sonam Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Nimrat Kaur, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Richa Chadha, Ronit Roy, Dino Morea and Vir Das were angry over people for potentially making the situation way worse than it already was. Re-tweeting a thread of several videos of people celebrating on the streets, Sonam said, "Sharing because it's tragically hilarious."

The attitude behind the circus that’s unfolded in so many parts of the country over “celebrating” the end of #Covid19 is the exact reason why we should be so worried for India. Praying the price we pay for this utter embarrassment and horror isn’t irreversible and drastic.— Nimrat Kaur (@NimratOfficial) March 22, 2020
