Be it giving a bath to their pets or working out together, the Indian allrounder Hardik Pandya and his fiancee, Serbian actress Natasa Stankovic are making the most of their time staying indoors during the coronavirus lockdown. On Monday, Natasa posted a video featuring Hardik, where the actress can be seen taking to the viral #SimbaChallenge.
Pandya’s fiance applies lipstick on Hardik’s forehead as the allrounder is wearing his Mumbai Indians jersey. She captioned the clip as, “The cutest Simba I know.” The ‘Simba’ challenge is a trending activity on TikTok. It is basically copying the first scene from the popular film ‘The Lion King’, where Rafiki, the monkey, smears a red color on Simba, the young lion’s forehead.
