She added, “I am feeling so miserable, as I have been extremely careful and strict with everyone on the set constantly telling them to wear masks and follow social distancing at all times. I feel extremely dejected, as it’s the beginning of the year. I am coming back after a long time and everything is perfect in terms of the role and the show.

All my co-actors have been calling and messaging me, too. I am missing my set and hope to be back soon.”
