Assam Police uses Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic pose to spread COVID-19 awareness

IAssam Police uses Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic pose to spread COVID-19 awareness. n an attempt to spread social distancing awareness, the Assam Police used a fun Bollywood twist.

Sharing a photoshopped image of Shah Rukh Khan in his signature arms-wide-spread pose with a mask on, the Assam Police wrote on their Twitter handle, “Social Distancing can save lives. Or as @iamsrk would say, ‘Kabhi kabhi paas aane ke liye kuch door jaana padta hai, aur door jakar paas aane walon ko Baazigar kehte hai.’ Stay Six feet apart and be a Baazigar! #SocialDistancing #IndiaFightsCorona”. Earlier in April, the Mumbai Police had also shared a clip from Shah Rukh Khan’s Main Hoon Na on Twitter, for same reasons. “@iamsrk wouldn’t need to do such stunts any longer - Mask Hai Na!” the tweet read.

The Nagpur Police had also attempted to create awareness about social distancing by quoting another Shah Rukh Khan-starrer, Chennai Express.

Sharing a scene from the movie, where Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan are sitting on either side of a bench, they tweeted, “Don’t underestimate the power of social distancing.”
