After celebrities like Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor experimented with the app and shared their pictures with fans of social media, the trend caught up with prominent personalities like the Bhartiya Janata Party Cabinet Minister Smriti Irani among many other political figures.

TV producer Ekta Kapoor who shares a great rapport with the minister wrote back, ” ….and u do it like a boss!!! It was d third leap na” to which Smriti replied, “@ektaravikapoor there were so many leaps I forgot.”
