Seeing my children's happy faces, spending time, wrestling and cuddling with them, is my happiness potion. I think the best thing that this catastrophe has brought is that we are getting to spend times with our families. Gyms are shut but for me fitness can never take a back seat. I've been working out at home religiously. Maintaining a positive mindset is even  more important now.

In times of the deadly Covid 19, I am majorly following reliable news  sources in order to stay informed and avoiding public places and spending time with my family which we rarely get because of our busy schedule. Also, keeping my self busy by doing gardening and helping my wife with cooking and other household work.

 I know the time is not right and everybody is on panic mood and scared. Even though we understand that being completely locked-down at one place and being home-bound is not easy to bear for so long but I would request all to avoid stepping out. We know the way Covid-19 is increasing day by day and people are falling sick and dying and we need to do our part to save us and others around us. Also, if you step out from your building to buy grocery, please get it for elderly in your society too and don't let  them go out.

These are tough times. While we can’t physically fight this virus, we can all do our bit and prevent it from spreading further by staying indoors and strictly observe social distancing. Given the schedule that we normally follow, it surely gets difficult to stay put indoors but this too shall pass. On the positive side, I’m spending a lot of time with my family and we are ensuring ways and means to keep ourselves occupied. From board games to movies to gardening and DIYs, we have been at it. I hope and pray for the well-being of everyone.

I am spending enough time reading all the novels in my ‘To Read list’. I don’t get enough time on the set to read despite sitting with it after almost every shot. Currently, I am reading a book that comprises of the most unusual poetries written that I started reading a couple of weeks ago. I hope to complete reading this book in the coming week. Other than reading, I also love folk music. I intend to sing and upload videos of it on my social media channels to keep myself as well as my fans entertained.

The biggest thing I miss out the most on is spending time with my family especially my daughter. Now that I have some time, we’ve made a sort of to-do list to spend time together. Most of it includes trying all her craft DIYs (laughs) which she likes watching. Besides that cooking some delicious meals for her and my husband. Although I would have loved visiting my extended family back in Indore with her but looking at the current scenario it is in our best interest to stay at home. And this is something I would like to urge all our viewers too. Please take all the necessary precautions and stay indoors…Kyunki hum ghar ke andhar, toh corona bahar! Stay safe and stay indoors.

Due to shoot schedules, my fitness regime would often get neglected and I was able to work out for one or two days in a week. Now that I’ve got some time off, I have begun exercising at home and I’m enjoying it. Prior to taking up the character of Anjani in &TV’s Kahat Hanuman Jai Shri Ram, I was pursuing Yoga which is performed in an extreme hot environment. I have once again begun practicing it at home where I switch off the A/C and fan and do the regular yoga asans. It helps in maintaining my weight plus brings an abundance of positivity especially at a time when we are enveloped in an environment of serious health concerns. My sincere urge to everyone is to take good care of your health by staying indoors and keep up with the exercise routines.

Shooting for a daily soap is hectic and during that time I didn’t get time to watch even my show. So, finally now I am binge watching my show. Also I am a big time foodie and staying away from family, I don’t get much of my favourite dishes so, I am learning to cook.

— Mohit Kumar who plays Shravan in Ek Duje ke Vaaste 2

 In this Quarantine season as the shoots are on hold, I am trying to use most of my time catching up with my hobbies. I really like painting but because of busy schedules I don’t get enough time. But right now, I am making painting which I wasn’t able to complete or the ones I wanted to make from long time.

— Akanksha Puri of Vighnaharta Ganesh 

PM Narendra Modi ji gave a directive of 21-days lockdown which I will dedicatedly follow. I have been at home since last 15 days and I will be indoors unless the lockdown is lifted. I have stored basic essentials and I will only step out if I need to buy groceries or medicines. There are people who don’t understand and leave their houses on bikes or cars, I really urge those people to stay at home as if we save ourselves, we will save the country. This is the chance to stay home and spend time with your family, eating healthy food, doing yoga and keeping yourselves fit and I myself am doing that.
