Arshad Warsi, who was last seen in Pagalpanti, is one of the most active users on the internet. From sharing updates about his film to sharing updates about his life, the actor makes sure that he keeps his fans posted about everything. Recently, the actor posted a meme that offered a solution to the deadly Coronavirus epidemic and was badly slammed for his insensitivity.
The actor shared a meme which showed a scene from his film Munna Bhai. In it, the scene from the film where Arshad Warsi picked up a Chinese guy and beats him with a bat was shared as a solution for Coronavirus. The meme read, “Steps To Follow to Stop Corona Virun From Spreading”
Arshad shared the meme with a caption that read, “My friend just sent me this very valuable info…” and was bashed for it severely.
