The Asambhav actor started out by asking,"What now?" as he continued saying, "As the world locks down, since everyone realises that it finally takes a virus to jolt us to take precautions for our health. Which we must do, for safety of our loved ones, ourselves and others.".

He also said,"Let us take this time out to reflect on what we have done to this planet. How much we have consumed from nature. Let’s not just value human lives but also value other living creatures and Mother Nature. Imagine we are a virus to them when we create havoc in their lives. Hopefully, there is a silver lining at the end of all this for everyone.". Arjun Rampal ended the long note with words of caution for his fans as he said, "Stay safe and responsible. Love to all always."
