The novel Coronavirus outbreak is taking over most of the people, resulting in it to be fatal for them. Even though the virus imposed a lockdown on us to curb the spread of the pandemic, the number of positive cases are only rising. As it making everyone vulnerable, a leading fashion magazine, GQ, tried to spread awareness on the same by resharing their old magazine covers and edited their covers with a face mask on it but they ended up facing the wrath of the netizens as they dismissed the idea.
The GQ India magazine’s official page shared a series of old magazine covers of Aamir Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh, Shah Rukh Khan, Virat Kohli and Hasan Minhaj but in every cover, they have photoshopped a face mask on them. Since wearing a mask in the time of Coronavirus has become ab important wear, plus, there are some places where there is a shortage of masks, the fashion magazine tried to spread awareness for the same.
They captioned each post with, “Wearing a mask in public can make a difference. To aid awareness, we dug into our archives and recreated 6 iconic GQ India covers. Some might even work better than the original! Make no mistake, we will defeat this. Aamir Khan - GQ India December 2008, Virat Kohli - GQ India August 2018, Shah Rukh Khan - GQ India February 2010, Hasan Minhaj - GQ India February 2018, Ranveer Singh - GQ India September 2013, Priyanka Chopra - GQ India December 2012”
Seeing they have reused the same magazine covers, an Instagram is not happy with it as he commented, “How about for a change you have a doctor/ nurse on the cover? The real heroes of the present,” while another one wrote, “This is such a fail idea. Just no.” We saw one more comment, “This is an old cover recreated, edited… have you guys gone mad?” There were some who commented, “WTF” on the post.
