A video of the filmmaker-choreographer buying mangoes from a fruit seller went viral. In the video, she was seen voluntarily pulling down her mask to sniff the fruit. She was also heard asking the vendor to give her a ripe mango as she wanted to consume it right away.

The incident comes a day after at least seven hawkers from a vegetable market in the Dadar area of Mumbai tested positive for coronavirus when the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) carried out random testing.
As reported by news agency PTI, a BMC official said that nearly 67 hawkers from near Dadar railway station were administered rapid antigen tests on Monday and at least 7 of them were found positive of COVID-19.
Last week, the civic body announced that a rapid antigen test will be carried out at public places such as markets, shopping malls, bus depots and railway stations among other crowded spots.
