Bollywood came out in full support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he asked the nation to face the coronavirus pandemic with resolve and restraint. After urging the country to observe March 22 as 'Janata Curfew' in an attempt to contain the coronavirus pandemic, the Prime Minister also called for the services of lakhs of health and allied services personnel to be acknowledged on that day.
