Actress Taapsee Pannu took to social media on Thursday evening to share a video showing a series of animations about the hardships of migrants had to face during the nation-wide lockdown. The actress also narrated a poem titled ‘Pravaasi’. The video starts with the lines, “Hum toh bass pravaasi hai, kya is desh ke vaasi hai?”
The video features the tragic incidents that took place during the lockdown. It draws reference from a video where a child was seen sleeping on a suitcase while his mother dragged him, hoping to reach home on foot. We are also reminded of two other horrors that we witnessed during this period- migrant laborers sleeping on the platform being run over by a train and a toddler trying to wake his dead mother in Bihar.
The actress captioned the video by saying, “Pravaasi. A series of pictures that probably will never leave our mind. The lines that will echo in our head for a long time. This pandemic was worse than just a viral infection for India. हमारे दिल से , आपके दिल तक, उन हज़ारों दिलों के लिए जो शायद हम सब ने तोड़े हैं । #Pravaasi #CovidInIndia
The actress is currently spending her lockdown in Mumbai. On the work front, Taapsee will next be seen in the feature films Haseen Dillruba, Rashmi Rocket, and Shabaash Mithu.
