The entire planet is suffering from the novel Coronavirus disease. Seeing the crisis, PM Modi has called for a 21-day lockdown. However, essential service providers have to step out of homes to perform their duties. From doctors and policemen to media professionals and bank officials, everyone is risking their lives despite the deadly virus.

The list also includes sanitation workers who are continuing to do their job. And the least we can do for them is to show gratitude in the current scenario. Bollywood celebs are showing us every now and then as they are doing their bit to help and thank these people. Actress Vidya Balan is also among them.

Vidya took to her Instagram handle to share a video in which she can be seen thanking a female sanitation worker, as the latter collects garbage from the road. The Mission Mangal actress, who is recording the clip from her balcony, is heard shouting, “Madam, thank you. God bless you,” as the woman looks up.
