What to do during a lockdown, inspired by Pakistani celebs

What to do during a lockdown, inspired by Pakistani celebs

The celebrity coronavirus content we needed.
Updated 26 Mar, 2020

If you're bored out of your mind while self-isolating, you're not alone.

Quite literally, the whole world is being forced to get to know themselves better as countries affected by the coronavirus pandemic have gone into lockdown.

Even our celebrities have had to take a breather from their jet-setting, fast-paced lifestyles and are now cooped up indoors. Stars, they're just like us!

Here's how to practice social distancing like a boss, inspired by what our favourite stars are upto during this trying time:

For starters, wash your hands

Okay, this isn't exactly fun but juuust a gentle reminder via Mansha Pasha.

Bond with family

This stillness is a gift. Cherish it like Wasim Akram.

Spend quality time with your significant other

Look at Yasir Hussain stepping in to do Iqra Aziz's hair, since salons are shut. Did someone say goals?

Come out of this a better cook

The kind of celeb inspo we needed to get ourselves into the kitchen. Thanks, Sajal Aly, our moms are forever grateful!

Sing your heart out

Not everyone can be blessed with a voice like Asim Azhar's but we can still give it a go. There's literally no one around to listen...

Or just lounge around

You don't have to do something productive. Just enjoy the time off, like Hareem Farooq. Probably never going to happen again in your adult life, there ain't no summer breaks when you start working.

Do an 'ask me anything' session on Instagram

It's time to get to know the people in your life a bit better and maybe also open up more yourself; works to pass the time. Exhibit A: Osman Khalid Butt.

Get some exercise

What better way to strengthen your immune system than getting a workout in? Dr. Shaista Lodhi giving us some much-needed motivation.

Play some video games

Take a page out of Ali Safina's playbook and go on a gaming binge.

Go down memory lane

Every day is throwback Thursday now.

Show off your youth

While corona fears have aged us 10 years in the past week, Shehzad Roy continues drinking from the fountain of youth. HOW?

Minus Wasim Akram none of the others are even close to celebrity status. Yes Wasim Akram is a national hero.

@Alih did you even know, what she meant by the disco deewangi thing? I am pretty sure you didn't. I could be wrong but I don't think I am. Look up how to wash your hands the correct way and how long it takes. I don't put on music but I do sing to myself. You can recite something. Poetry, Humm a tune, or even start counting sheep. Nobody cares. Just wash your hands the right way spending enough time to kill the germs.

@Taj this is an excellent opportunity for people to look into growing their own basic crops (just enough for their own family) if they have a green garden or even a small piece of greenery in their backyard or from yard or on the roof or a small greenhouse. It's hrslthy, organic and ensures you have food at all times.
