COVID scare has not reduced but people have adapted to the new normal: Ashna Kishore

'Happu Ki Ultan Paltan' actress Ashna Kishore is back where she belongs after a long break of three months. She has resumed shooting for her comedy show with all necessary precautions and safety measures. She feels that the COVID scare has not reduced but people have adapted to this new normal.

She added, “Like I also have started working and others have resumed work too. So, I think they are taking proper precautions, and then they are stepping outside their house. But just in case people are going out just for the sake of fun, then I think that's bad, because you never know where you can get the infection from. Normal life has been twisted a little, so if you want to enjoy this new normal, please take all precautions.”

 Since the news of the outbreak first surfaced, it has been advised to maintain proper social-distancing. The actress feels that people, who are not following it, are not just putting themselves at risk, but their families too. “I have seen a lot of people not following social-distancing which is neither good for them, or for their family. I feel it is very dangerous, because if someone gets infected, he or she will put others at risk too. Until unless all of us follow the precautions, we are just increasing the risk of infection. It’s better to do good things and influence others,” she said. 

 Ashna also feels that we need to learn to live with COVID now and should maintain a hygienic life to avoid any risk of infection. She said, “I think people should live a hygienic life, and it is a must especially these days. We should wash our hands frequently and should always take a bath whenever we come back from somewhere. And if you are stepping out, you should always carry a mask, gloves and if not gloves then carry a sanitizer.”

 Though she admits that Coronavirus outbreak has increased the workload, she looks at it as a positive change and added, “I feel it is good because now I am more sure of my things, even when I go to the sets I make sure I sanitize my whole stuff whether it's my makeup or my hair brush or comb or my bed or my drawer. I know that the production team takes care of all these things but still for my satisfaction and my safety I do it. So, I feel it is good because it has made us hygiene conscious.”

The “Tere Sheher Mein” is quite excited about going back to work. When asked about the precautions she will take before leaving her home, she said, “I will be wearing my gloves and masks which are a must. I will be carrying a face shield as well just in case I need it. I will make sure that I have my sanitizer and disinfectant whenever I step outside the house and will ensure that I sanitize my car before leaving and coming back from somewhere.”  Ashna is doing meditation to keep her mind at peace, and even recommends it to others.

“I have been doing meditation lately. And I believe everyone should do that because it clears our mind, keeps it peaceful, and you feel fresh after doing it. So much is happening around, this will add positivity to our lives,” she concluded.
