by

Actor and funnyman Arshad Warsi, known for his humorous role as the sidekick Circuit in the movie 'Munna Bhai MBBS', attempted to be chucklesome while cracking a joke about the deadly Coronavirus outbreak. Putting together a meme from his film, the actor shared "steps to follow to stop Coronavirus from spreading."

However, the joke didn't seem to go down too well with fans and social media users who demanded that the tweet be taken down owing to its 'racist' and 'insensitive' nature.

The meme featured a scene from Munna Bhai MBBS which saw his character, Circuit conning an Asian tourist, beating him up and presenting him to Sanjay Dutt's character to perform a medical examination.

“My friend just sent me this very valuable info,” Arshad wrote in his tweet.
