A group of Odia film and televisionactors, social workers, influencers and change makers have come forward to motivate people during this extendedlockdown period to fight against coronavirus. They have released a video appealing people to be brave and stay inside their homes to defeat COVID-19. All the participants have shot the video while staying inside their homes.

Actress Varsha Priyadarshini has taken the lead in making this video that tries to unite people from various sectors and spread positivity at this time of gloom. Around 25 celebrities from different fields have shared their video clips saying “Aame Sabu Bharatwasi, Bhaari Saahasi.. Aame Jitiba, Corona Haariba” which means “We are Indians, we are courageous, we will win,and coronavirus will be defeated”.

Through this video they have not forgotten to remind people that staying indoors is the best option available for all to stay safe from COVID-19.“It was my idea of making a video where some of the influencers would try to appeal people to stay positive and stay safe. All those who have featured in the video responded quickly and came forward for this noble cause. At this time of crisis, as artistes and influencers, it’s our duty to stand with our people and keep them motivated in this fight against a global pandemic,” said Varsha who has edited this video.
