'Bigg Boss 13' contestants Rashami Desai, Asim Riaz, Himanshi Khurana and Paras Chhabra light candles and diyas at 9pm for 9 minutes

The alarming spread of Coronavirus has confined the citizens of India to their homes. With a complete lockdown announced till April 14, everyone is locked inside their houses. Now, with nearly one week left for the shutdown to lift, Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi engaged his countrymen by asking them to light a candle, diya or mobile flashlight for nine minutes at 9 pm today. A measure to show unity, the activity has been receiving a great response, just like the janta curfew that took place on March 22. 

Extending her support to the initiative was Rashami Desai. The actress it a candle with her niece and nephew in attendance.
