Films and TV shows are called the mirror of society. Sometimes there are such twists in the serials that we begin to relate to our real life, but it is amazing to tell about the corona-like pandemic in premature serials. The serial CID of Sony TV once or twice mentioned a virus with similar symptoms to the corona.

Murderous foreign disease with similar symptoms was also mentioned in Sab TV's comedy serial 'Lapataganj'. These days, the video of 'Lapataganj' episode number 86 is going viral. In the video, a character is seen announcing that take care of your health, because a new disease has come in the state. It is also fatal. If someone is constantly complaining of cough, cold and sneezing then keep distance from it and show it to the doctor.

Rohitashv Gaur, who plays Mukundi Lal in the show, is seen as Tiwari in 'Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai' these days. He said in an interview- "10 years ago today, I made this episode in 2010, which was called 'Wahm's cure'. This episode was referring to the same type of virus and we told all these things in it. Time is running out."

Rohitashv told, "A disease has come from abroad in 'Lapataganj' and that disease is spread by sneezing and coughing. It is untreated and people have to maintain distance and wear masks. The story is of the time when there was no corona virus. I remember this scene we shot in Vrindavan on the set of Mud Island. Now, this episode is going viral, I feel good seeing this serial."
