This Sunday as all of India went on to 12-hour lockdown many celebrities found unique ways to indulge themselves on twitter. Union minister and former tv actress Smriti Irani called for everyone to play antakshri with their friends on twitter.
In her tweet Irani wrote, “We are a 130 crore family so tag karna mushkil hai ki next kaun gaan uthayega isiliye sing / tweet a song coz ye apni marzi wala #TwitterAntakshari hai (it’s difficult to decide who will pick the next song. So, sing or tweet a song because is it #TwitterAntakshari of your choice)."
Famous actor and producer Karan Johar was one of the first few celebrities to reply to Smriti Irani's idea. In a tweet Johar wrote, "Karan replied, “Helloji! Antakshari is my favourite time pass activity! To main Zaroor contribute karna chahoonga (So I would like to contribute) ...with my favourite song...Lag ja gale ...ke phir ye haseen raat ho na ho...Shayad phir is janam mein mulakat ho na ho......ab aapki bari (Now it’s your turn).” Smriti Irani was quick to respond to Karan Johar's tweet. However, the former tv actress noticed that Lag Ja Gale is the worst song to pick for the ongoing health crisis in the country. She responded on her twitter saying, “Lag jaa gale is the wrong song during #corona." Smriti Irani is often active on her twitter handle. She recently nominated filmmaker and producer Ekta Kapoor for the World Health Organization's Safe Hands Challenge. Kapoor was soon to respond to the union minister's nomination. She shared a video of herself washing her hands for 20 seconds.
