In the times of Covid-19, it has become a priority to take care of our health and hygiene more than ever. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has provided a guideline as to how we should wash our hands and have even started a campaign called ‘Safe Hands Challenge’ where they nominate many influential celebrities from around the world to demonstrate how to wash our hands right.

On Friday, WHO’s Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus took to his Twitter account to nominate Deepika Padukone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Priyanka Chopra, K-Pop band BTS, among many others. Deepika took up the challenge, and tweeted a video of her demonstrating a hand-wash routine. She is seen in her washroom, dressed in a bathrobe.

Check out the video here:
