While doctors and authorities around the globe have been urging people to always wear masks when traveling at a time when the death toll in China due to coronavirus epidemic has gone up to 908 and the number of confirmed cases rose over 40,000, you would expect certain sensitivity on social media.
But, well. Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra decided to, instead, do a photoshoot at what looks like an airport, wearing a mask.
In a recent social media post, the actress is seen wearing a mask and posing for pictures.
Taking to Twitter she wrote, "Sad, but I guess this is the situation now. Stay safe guys. #Coronavirus #StaySafe."

The head of the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Saturday that the UN health agency would send an international mission to China as it received a response from Beijing.
WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the team leader would leave early next week with the rest of the experts to follow.
The UN health agency said the number of cases of the coronavirus in China was "stabilising", which is a "good news".
It, however, cautioned that it was too early to make any predictions about whether the virus might have peaked.
