Actor Riteish Deshmukh on Monday took to social media to appreciate the proactive measures taken by Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in the backdrop of coronavirus outbreak.
The 41-year-old's appreciation post came minutes after Thackeray announced a statewide curfew in a bid to combat the deadly virus.
The 'Housefull' actor tweeted, "The proactive steps taken to tackle the corona pandemic by Our CM Shri Uddhav Thackeray ji@OfficeofUT & the Govt of Maharashtra should be applauded."
Deshmukh said that "as citizens, it is our duty to follow the following order and help win this fight."
