Pune Man Wears Gold Mask Worth Rs 2.89 Lakh To 'Protect' Himself From Coronavirus
A man has bought a gold mask worth Rs 2.89 lakh to protect himself from coronavirus but he does not even know whether it will be effective or not.
With face masks becoming the new accessories, companies sure are capitalising on it. Some are even offering masks to match your outfits. For instance, this bride and groom wore silk face masks that matched their wedding outfits.
However, taking the ¡®luxury¡¯ of breathing to another level, a man in Pune got himself a mask made of gold.

Well, a mask costing almost Rs 3 lakh might not protect against coronavirus, but one that costs no more than Rs 300 can. Clearly, the golden mask is a prop to show off wealth but he certainly managed to go viral.
While some people online wanted his money, others asked for an income tax inquiry into his assets.
Reporter : Aapne ye mask kyu banwaya jab ki aap sure bhi nahi hai ki ye kaam karega ya nahi..
