Assam police use Shah Rukh Khan's iconic pose to spread COVID-19 awareness

In order to raise awareness about the importance of social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Assam police have used Shah Rukh Khan's iconic pose to spread the message.

Mumbai: Social distancing is gradually becoming the new normal. Assam Police urged people to follow social distancing guidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic by using Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue from Baazigar (1993).

Sharing a picture of King Khan with his iconic pose where he spread his arms wide, Assam Police added a mask on his face and indicated a six feet distance with his arms wide apart.
