The country is reeling under the effects of Coronavirus. The nation is in lockdown and people are practising social distancing.
However, amidst all this, we see the picture of humanity changing rapidly. Recently, comedian-actor Vir Das took to his social media account to post a video about a rather shocking encounter he had last night.
The Go Goa Gone actor, who resides in the ground floor of his building, invited a neighbour over to have some food and he claimed to have followed all the social distancing rules. His landlord's relative, however, was not very happy to see Vir and he started yelling at him, blackmailing him and hurling abuses.
And then in the video we also see the man sneezing at Vir. Now in a note, Vir has opened up about a lot of things. He stated that the man in the video holds grudges against the actor because he stays in an apartment that the man wished to own but couldn’t.
Take a look at the video -

He wrote, “This is one crazy evening. I live on the ground floor. We've got a little sit out. At 10 pm a neighbour came by because we had cooked dinner for them too. We do that with them and also some others within the complex. We gave him a chair fifteen feet away, FULLY social distanced. My neighbour had a can of coke from his house, a mask on, which he had pulled down to have a smoke. I was on the outdoor sit area of my house, neighbour was in the complex, fully social distanced. Five minutes later, this happens.

“This man is not my landlord, he lives on the first floor of the annexe building. He is upset because my landlord inherited the house I live in and he didn't. This man does not own my doorstep, my sit-out or my house. I am not sure if an old man threatening to assault me, or sneezing on me, or asking his dead parent to haunt me qualifies as harassment. But this is a little ridiculous. And before this turns into him going to the media, as he has done before, and I've sat through it quietly...I'm not normally one for drama...I'm sorry but this crossed the line. How's your lockdown going?”
The actor went on to write, “To be clear. Uncle has previously gone to tabloids to get articles written about me and my family. I let it go quietly multiple times before. I have posted this here because at least then the truth is out there before seedy articles. Tonight crossed the line. Hope you understand.”
