This time, in order to make people become more aware of the outbreak of Coronavirus, the Padmaavat actress quickly took part in the ‘Safe Hands’ challenge. This resulted from the recent nomination for her, coming from Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus - the World Health Organisation’s Director-General.

She accepted the challenge and shared a video on social media. Besides the message of how to stop the pandemic from spreading all over the continents, the video is also attached to her nomination for more celebrities, including a nomination for the captain of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli, to join hand in this campaign.

As we can all see in the video that she uploaded on her social media page, Deepika carefully wears a mask, one of the most typical healthcare items to protect ourselves from contracting the virus during this pandemic. The Bollywood star knows how to give clear instructions on how to wash hands properly. She ends the hand-washing challenge by winking at the camera and using a towel to wipe her hands.

She posted the video on twitter with the caption expressing her appreciation for having been nominated by Dr. Tedros and challenge other celebrities to take part in. Deepika took the scope of this message transmission to a higher level when nominating Virat Kohli, Roger Federer, and Cristiano Ronaldo for more significant influence. 

In order for the message to reach as many people as possible, Dr. Tedros is calling out for celebrities to make good use of their popularity for the sake of raising social awareness. WHO initiated the “Safe Hands” challenge and asked people to share videos showing their hands-washing techniques. This global campaign plays an important role in enlightening people with effective methods to protect themselves and others from the wide-spread coronavirus.
