After the long lockdown of three months, the nation is unlocking now. The Entertainment industry was one of the most affected industries in this lockdown, hundreds of lakhs of rupees were drowned due to the unexpected outbreak of Coronavirus and it is still unclear what will be the future.
As of now, the Television shoots will be resuming next week or by June 20th in Mumbai and outskirts of the city. Many TV producers have shared that the financial pressure is so high that they are unsure of to do and what not to do. Erica Fernandes, one of the most loved actresses, shared her thoughts with Pinkvilla and said that she is concerned about the future.
Erica told the web portal, “It’s not a simple question of yes or no. There is a lot to it. People have been out of work for a very long time. Some do not have the luxury of choosing if they should get back to work or no. But, if you ask me, I am not up for it, not now at least, maybe a little later yes, and this is due to multiple reasons.”
Listing her reasons to the website, Erica said, “Firstly, we are just beginning to get out of the lockdown. There are high chances of a spike in the graph. Secondly, because we are entering the monsoon season where so many of us generally fall ill due to the change in weather. The symptoms of normal flu or dengue, malaria ( which are common during the monsoons) are very similar to the virus. This will create chaos and panic.”
She further added by saying the actors will be at the biggest risk as they’ll be shooting without masks. She said, “”Thirdly, actors even if they want to, have to shoot without a mask. So they are at a higher risk at work, more than anyone else. Next, in there are studios that have multiple shows shooting in the same vicinity at the same time accounting for a huge number of people working together.”
