“The government is trying its best to tackle the situation, has laid down the safety protocols that need to be followed.

Vijayendra Kumeria on shooting during the pandemic in India:
Trying their best to shoot to entertain people and that people associated with the show are employed. Many TV shows are busy creating episode banks. “We tried our best too. But it’s very difficult given the fact that we are doing a daily soap. So, making a bank of more than 3-4 episodes is like a dream, hence we have to continue shooting,” he adds.
But we as entertainers are trying our best to help them relax their minds in such stressful times,” says Kumeria, the actor, who was not sceptical of travelling outside in these pandemic times. He believes that “the show must go on”. He further adds, “Producer duo Amir and Sonali Jaffar are good producers, and the content of the show is fantastic”.
Personally, Kumeria is being extra careful in terms of hygiene, food choices etc. “Everybody is masked up; sanitisation is up to the mark and social distancing is practised. That’s all we are supposed to do, and I am doing the same. I am a part of the team, so I need to keep myself safe and also think about how I can help others. That’s what I am focused on,” he concludes.
