In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘9 baje 9 minutes’ appeal on April 5 to defeat the novel coronavirus, citizens across India lit diyas and candles at their home while switching off the light. However, a man from Bangalore came up with a unique idea in view of doing something different. A video has been surfacing on the internet showing the man dressed up as a ghost and walking around his balcony.

The 15-second clip was shared by a user named Noodlehead on Twitter which went viral within a few hours. The clip shows a man who is covered in white cloth from top to toe and walking around his balcony with a candle in his hand. Additionally, to raise the suspense he played Gumnaam Hai Koi from the 1965 film Gumnaaam in the background.
The clip that went viral has been viewed over one lakh times and garnered almost 9,000 likes within a span of about nine hours. People have been enjoying the clip a lot and posted several comments on the post.
A user wrote, “Salute to whoever that person is”, while another wrote, he deserves an “award”. One more user wrote, “Sense of humour has to be appreciated”.
Meanwhile, millions responded to PM Modi’s ‘9 baje 9 minutes’ appeal on Sunday by turning off lights of their home and lighting diyas and candles at 9 pm for nine minutes to express collective resolve against the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Apart from this, firecrackers have also been busted in certain areas while devotional songs and mantras were played in residential areas across several cities as well.
Since March 25, India is under complete lockdown for 21 days as PM Modi asked citizens to stay indoors to contain the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The global outbreak has affected around 180 nations across the world claiming around 70,000 lives globally while infecting more than a million people. In India, the Health Ministry said that there has been an increase of 490 coronavirus cases in the last 12 hours, taking India’s total number of positive cases to 4067 including 3666 active cases, 292 cured/discharged/migrated people and 109 deceased people.
