TV is one of the best mediums to connect with the masses. It not only entertains us but also provides a glimpse into a world we live in at the moment. One Indian TV show on Star Plus went above and beyond to show us that social distancing is a very serious business. How serious you ask? Let’s take a look at what happened in an episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.
The best shows know how to incorporate the latest trends or real-life elements into their stories. The biggest trend these days is having to wear a mask or any protective gear in order to avoid the coronavirus.
Recently, many TV shows and films have resumed production, while still following the social distancing protocol. However, Indians tend to be a little too dramatic. The drama tried to ‘educate’ the masses about wearing masks and how the characters in the show are also living in a COVID-19 pandemic.
Lets take a look at the scene first:

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is a very popular show in India with a huge fan following. During one of the scenes, the characters are performing a dramatic scene wearing not masks but face shields. The show stretched the concept of wearing a mask by wearing anything that can be called a mask!

It’s not how the show treated masks that made us laugh out loud. This drama also educates about using sanitizers… in a ‘romantic’ fashion?
