Swiss star Roger Federer has been nominated for the WHO designated Safe hands challenge. Even though it’s not the agency itself which has done the nomination, it is a very special person indeed. Roger has been nominated by Bollywood star Deepika Padukone for the challenge.
Deepika posted a video via her twitter account where she can be seen washing her hands vigorously. This is how she captioned the video –
“Thank You @DrTredos, for nominating me for the #SafeHands Challenge! #COVID 19 surely is an uphill health and public safety task, but all of us are in this fight together! I further nominate @rogerfederer, @Cristiano and @imVkohli to take up this challenge! #coronavirus #StaySafe”.

Talking about Deepika choosing Roger Federer, it is hardly a surprise. In fact, the Bollywood star’s affection for the Swiss tennis legend is not a secret. Let’s find out more about this connection between the two.
What is the connection between Deepika and Roger Federer?
Back in 2018, Deepika had revealed a startling detail in an interview. She had said that Federer would be the only man that she’d leave her then-boyfriend and current husband Bollywood star Ranveer Singh for.
Interestingly enough, this is not Deepika’s first or most newsworthy interaction with the tennis world. In 2016, Deepika was heavily linked with Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic. This was after the two were clicked together on a dinner date. In fact, tabloids blew up when Novak’s then-girlfriend Lidija Popovic claimed that he’d be happier in a relationship with Deepika Padukone!

Meanwhile, Roger Federer is still sitting out due to his devastating knee injury.
Let’s wait for his own Safe hands challenge.
