• Has the fear of working during a pandemic eased? 6. What precautions are taken during shoot?
• Yes, the fear of working during the pandemic has definitely eased. This was my first assignment post the lockdown period. We were very scared at that time and we did not know whether we should really start working or wait, but we really did not know when the wait would end. The fear at that time was at its peak. Right now, it has eased to a great extent. The precautions that we were taking at that time during the shoot was that our rooms were being sanitised atleast 3 times a day, all of us were asked to wear a mask at all times, whenever we reached the sets our temperatures were checked. We were only allowed to take off our masks during our shots.
• What precautions are taken during the shoot?
• Right now, while we are still taking precautions, it has eased to a great extent as most of us are vaccinated. The scare and the fear has ebbed to a certain extent.
• Can you share some of your future projects?
• My future projects if you talk about them are I just shot for an advertisement with Boman Irani. I had also shot an advertisement with Pankaj Tripathi. I keep doing advertisements. Currently I have this show called Imlie where I am playing the only negative character in the show. I had done Kota Factory Season 1 and 2 which was a hit.
• How are you celebrating Diwali this year?
• I am going to be celebrating Diwali at home with my family. I am going to light diyas, do Lakshmi Puja, wear new clothes. We will not be bursting crackers. We will sit together as a family, do puja and aarti together as a family and spend good time with the family.
