Bollywood actors urge fans to greet each other with 'Namaste' as Coronavirus spreads

And with this, a new trend has taken over the internet where celebs are requesting everyone to go back to the traditional Indian way of greeting each other with a Namaste instead of shaking hands. To spread awareness about this among the common public, Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra and others are urging people to greet each other with a Namaste.
