In the ongoing 21-day lockdown across the country, Prime Minster Narendra Modi had earlier asked people to clap and salute for the real coronavirus warriors. And in his latest address to the nation bought another task for everyone to come together and light the lamps, mobile flashlights, torches or diyas outside of their houses for nine minutes at 9 pm on April 5, Sunday. This initiative was to mark solidarity in the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

The request was successful as lakhs of families heeded to Modi's call to commemorate the country’s fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bollywood stars extended their support to the initiative as they switched off lights in their homes and came to their balconies with diyas and candles.

Among those who were seen lighting up diyas included Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar, Kapil Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, Alia Bhatt,Vicky Kaushal, and many others.

I light a diya everyday for many years now. And as I light the diya I seek guidance, asking for the darkness in me to be dispelled. For many days since the turn of the recent events across the world, I have prayed to God to end the suffering of so many who are losing their lives without their families beside them, for the less-fortunate and the needy whose lives have turned upside down completely, for all the healthcare professionals who are working tirelessly & bravely to protect the lives of other beings, for those who are uncertain about their jobs and future. So tonight, I prayed extra for everyone and I lit diyas with the whole of India and we all prayed for each other. Prayers never go in vain. ✨
