As the entire Maharashtra has gone under lockdown, #HasanZaidi, #NiveditaBasu, #PrateikChaudhary, #PriyamvadaKant, #PritamSingh, #SshreyPareek, #DelnaazIrani, #NikkieyChawla advice everyone to stay positive to test Covid negative.

Looking at the surge in the Covid-19 cases, the government of Maharashtra announced a statewide lockdown from April 13 onwards. Earlier they had announced a night curfew and weekend lockdown, but the rising number of cases made them impose a 15-days lockdown in the state, and with that came the announcement of shootings to be stopped for films, TV and advertisements. Here’s how the celebs from the entertainment industry reacted to it.

Hasan Zaidi : It’s definitely a test of patience and perseverance, a test that requires us to be positive. A loss of time, money, momentum and routine, but it should not be a loss of your inner positivity. I’m sure it’s not an easy decision even for the government, wherein there are thousands of factors they have to weigh in, in terms of health care, it’s logistics, administration, law and order, peer pressure, and the economic fallout. It’s a catch 22 situation. As an industry as much as we can, we should support our producers and especially the daily wage workers. They are affected the most. The entertainment industry might be the softest target, but it is also the strongest, most secular in fabric and an undying force. A force that can make you laugh, raise your awareness, and be the biggest tool to progressive change, keeping memories alive. And holding any plot of reel and real life together. Take this time to prepare better in terms of your craft and over and above all in terms of your approach to life. Stay positive and test negative.

Nivedita Basu : It will be a major setback as the industry supports a major variety of people. Be it hair makeup artists, photographers but also the root level people like extras, light men, dress men, dadas etc. who depend on the industry for day to day living. The government has to do what it has to. All I would say is that once every thing resumes again we should be very careful with our freedom and take all precautions to curb the spread.

Prateik Chaudhary : The show must go on but not before health. As we all know COVID cases are increasing rapidly, especially in Maharashtra, so I think the government had no other choices rather than imposing lockdown again. I guess it’s for our own good. Work is necessary but health is more important. Hum rahenge toh kaam kar payenge, correct? So I guess we should follow government rules and regulations properly and wait for the government’s next decisions like a good citizen of India. Jai Maharashtra.

Priyamvada Kant : It is disappointing actually, but something needed to be done to control the virus. However, I feel imposing strict rules would have done the job too. We already had a night curfew and a weekend lockdown, all we needed was some strict action and it would have saved us. The show must go on, but health is most important. I think it’s a good move but looking at the results from the last lockdown, I think we could have done much better by imposing strict guidelines. I am only worried about the daily wagers, because it’s going to be very difficult for them. But now let’s hope we all stay healthy, overcome it together, and start work soon.

Pritam Singh : I have nothing against the government and I can understand that these restrictions would help us. But sometimes I feel that the government handles situations as per their convenience. Why are religious gatherings being held? What’s happening in states holding elections? BMC fines people like us but ignores how many have gone jobless, theatres could not function in full swing, producers have lost out on a lot of money etc. All sectors are suffering. Everything went standstill last year, and the future also looks bleak. It’s a very difficult and dangerous time for everyone.

Sshrey Pareek : This is yet another difficult time for the entertainment industry, much like other sectors that would get affected by this lockdown like restrictions. But the government had no other option but to implement this janta curfew to control the infection from spreading. We have to stick together, follow rules and stay safe. This time we are stronger than before. We know what we are facing and also have an understanding of how we can deal with it. It will be a setback for sure but simultaneously we cannot ignore the situation. We have to fight harder and let nothing stop us.

Delnaaz Irani : It’s an extremely sad situation but I think the decision taken by the Maharashtra government is completely justified because we are left with no other option. It’s like a catch 22 situation, if you go out for work you run the risk of contracting the virus and spreading it too, but if you don’t step out then you lose out on your income. Par jaan hai toh jahan hai. So be careful, act responsibly and follow all the rules set by the government. My web series and film got pushed and I lost out on some more projects. It does make you sad but then we all are on the same boat. We have to be patient, be hopeful, and stay safe, everything will fall into place. A lot of producers tried to work things out in spite of people testing positive on the set, but we cannot run away from the sit and have to face it. But we will definitely come out stronger.

Nikkiey Chawla : We can’t help it but follow government orders because what they have done will only save us. And it’s not just our industry that is shut down, but other industries too are facing the music. Other than worrying or cribbing, we must all follow norms, understand the gravity of the situation and act like responsible citizens by following all norms. I am worried about daily wagers and would request everyone who can to stay by them. We have to control the spread now for a better tomorrow or else the situation might turn worse. I would try and entertain my fans via social media till I am allowed to step out for work.

Sshrey Pareek enjoys playing antagonist!

Sshrey Pareek, who is set to play a negative role in the ongoing popular show “Qurbaan Hua”, says such roles are more tempting than the positive parts.

The actor is all charged up for the show because as a performer as it pushes him to give his best. “I think negative roles have no limitations, no bars to follow. While with positive roles, you have to draw a line,” Sshrey says.

He further shares that his character has a lot of scope to perform. Talking about his role, the actor says, “I’m playing a grey character and I am from the girl’s side. The story is about religion and its consequences. So I have come to take revenge from the boy for what has happened before and will try to make her sister fall for me and take revenge through her.” “I was brought up in Chahat’s family (Pratibha Ranta) and had a special connection with her and this will affect the boy’s family in many ways as they belong to Hindu religion,” he adds. Sshrey says to join an ongoing show halfway is challenging and he does feel there is a lot of responsibility on him.

“When you enter midway there is a lot of responsibility on you to make the show better. All the actors on the show are already established and for me it’s hard to make a mark in between. But the best part is I already have worked with the producers before on ‘Devanshi’ so I know the team,” he adds. The actor says shooting in the new normal world, amid the coronavirus pandemic scare has been a different experience.

“Today a lot of safety measures are in place to prevent the curb of COVID-19 on sets. One major difference I find is earlier all the teams would sit together and talk, discuss but that is missing now. That warmth is still kind of missing. I hope everything gets normal soon,” he adds. Sshrey seems thrilled with the kind of roles he is receiving. Having acted in shows like “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai” he says if not an actor he would have been a dancer.

He had dreamt of becoming a choreographer and arrived in the city of dreams, Mumbai to follow his passion for dance and went on to work with national award-winning choreographer Shiamak Davar for many years. However, Sshrey is presently happy to be in front of the camera entertaining the audience.

Tele-Celebs name women who inspire them!

International Women’s Day celebrates women’s rights, equality and also their achievement in various fields. On this day, one also remembers the women who have been an inspiration to many. Actors Prakhar Toshniwal, Sshrey Pareek, Arjun Srivasstava, Shireen Mirza and Pritam Singh too are no different. They also celebrate this special occasion by remembering the women they look up to. Here’s who they admire:

Prakhar Toshniwal
The life and journey of acid attack survivor and campaigner for rights of acid attack victims Laxmi Agarwal have been a motivating factor in my life. Acid attack is still one of the most common crimes against women in India. And Laxmi is a living example of how no distress in life can stop you from following your dreams. In fact it only makes you stronger than before. Women are more than just a face, and Laxmi has proven just that. Her contribution towards the women of our society is laudable.

Sshrey Pareek
I am a huge fan and follower of actor, filmmaker and humanitarian Angelina Jolie. She is an inspiration to me in every way. She is not just a brilliant actor but the kind of humanitarian work she does, her involvement with charity and the way she helps poor children are things that I also would like to do in my life. She is constantly working for various social causes all over the world. I think as actors, our responsibility doesn’t end at performance. We must also use our popularity to help people for good and make this world a better place.

Arjun Srivasstava
American vice president Kamala Harris is the woman I look up to. She is the first woman to have received that position in US and you never know she might even become the president one day. Given her Indian-American background she and her family went to many things in life and she successfully wade through them to be what she is today makes her absolutely admirable. She has the kind of determination and grit needed to reach that stage in life. Even before becoming the vice president, the kind of journey she has had in the American politics, her contribution towards the betterment of women is commendable. The other woman who inspires me is Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Her journey being a brilliant artiste to everything else that has done including her humanitarian work makes her a complete woman. The incredible journey of Kamala Harris and Priyanka Chopra Jonas motivates me. This International Women’s Day I would like to salute both these women. They tell us how you have it in you to fulfill all your dreams, just be at it.

Shireen Mirza
I can think of several well-known women from history and even in present times who have been an inspiration to all of us. But today I want to talk about my help Shakeela, who I look up to because of everything that she has been doing. She works more than 18 hours a day to earn a living, to provide for her children and give them basic education so that they can lead a better life. Shakeela has four daughters and she’s bringing them up well, instilling in them a proper value system. Her dedication towards her work and family makes her special. A woman like her can achieve anything. Seeing her I can proudly say we are no less than anyone.

Pritam Singh
We don’t need to have a day to celebrate the contribution of women in making this world a better place. Womanhood is a celebration in itself. Yes we definitely need to recognize their rights, potential, achievements and contribution, but then that can’t be for just a day. It needs to be a 365-day thing. Mother Teresa and Indira Gandhi are the extraordinary women from the pages of history who encourage me to follow my dreams and do good to others. I think men should understand and value the women in their lives, love them and stay by them throughout. If you aren’t true to your woman, then you are definitely not on the right track.
