It has been over eight months since the lockdown was imposed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. People were sitting at home, waiting for things to become normal and restrictions to get relaxed. Things have indeed become marginally better and people have begun to go back to work. Alia Bhatt is one of them.
And in an interview with Hindustan Times, she spoke about the lockdown that happened, resuming work after a long time and how she manages to stay safe amid this crisis. She said, “It’s been a challenging year for all of us.”
She added, “When I realised I had all this time to myself, I decided to use it productively, learning more about the different aspects of business and the market. And of course, I used the time to catch up on my reading and binge-watching content.” When asked about her experience of going back to work, this is what she had to say.
“It’s a great feeling to be reunited with the team and being back on set. Of course, we have multiple restrictions and protocols to follow, everyone is very careful, taking all sorts of precautions. But we’ve accepted that this is the new normal, and we’re all trying to make the best of the situation,” Bhatt stated.
And when asked about her apprehensions about resuming work, she said, “Like I said, we are all apprehensive, these are uncertain times but we have to make an effort and look at doing the best that we all can do. Also the ability to be back on set doing what you love is a blessing and I feel very grateful for every moment!”
The actress is collaborating with Ranbir Kapoor for the first time in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Dimple Kapadia, and Mouni Roy. This film was earlier titled Dragon and was slated to release on Christmas 2016. However, due to the massively mounted scale, the makers needed more time to shape and enhance it.
