Comedian-actor Vir Das feels celebrities should not post videos on social media that show them undergoing Covid-19 tests. Taking to Instagram, Vir Das requested celebrities to understand the struggles of people who conduct Covid-19 tests. "Celebrities...please stop posting videos of your Covid tests. From the collection to the test, you are literally doing none of the work.The fact you tilted your head back 30 degrees and managed not to sneeze is not engaging content," he wrote.
Vir Das urged: "Been seeing these videos for months now. Hear me out please. There's someone drenched in a full PPE kit one foot away from you who does this 30 times a day, door to door. You're not the one struggling. The test sucks for them more."
Meanwhile, Vir Das has resumed performing live stand-up comic gigs post lockdown.
In a previous interview to Cinestan, he spoke about the things he was doing in lockdown, "I am working out like a beast (laughs). Trying to keep my endorphins up. I have been spending an hour and a half working out at home every day. I am kind of determined to come out of this lockdown a better person and a healthier person. Otherwise, what was it all for?"
He also shed light on how the need for laughter remains. "You are fighting a psychology change. Whenever there is a vaccine, there is a vaccine. If there is a cure, there will be a cure. What you are really asking is when will people be comfortable sitting in a room together and laughing. The only upside I see is that your urge to watch a movie varies, your urge to listen to music varies, but your need to laugh is a daily need. You are always going to want to laugh every single day. Luckily, comedians are in a profession that has unlimited demand. So, at some point, people will return to us."
