Amid coronavirus pandemic, Shruti Haasan returned to India from London around 10 days ago and like a responsible citizen, she has been under self-quarantine ever since. However, speaking to a daily, the actress claimed that she is used to being by herself and is using the current break to do things that she enjoys, like cooking, baking and making organic soaps. “The difficult part is not having the option to go out and the looming fear of what all of this means for us," she added.
Stressing on the importance of social distancing amid COVID-19 scare, she revealed that her entire family has self-isolated. “People have started taking it seriously in the last few days. Thankfully, by the time I returned, the shoots were also getting cancelled. My entire family has self-isolated. Mum (actress Sarika) is in Mumbai as well but in another apartment, Dad (Kamal Haasan) and Akshara (sister) are in Chennai but in separate houses. All of us had different travelling schedules and it didn’t make sense for us to isolate together. That’s the decision I feel people should make,” Shruti asserted.
Meanwhile, she had stocked up on essential food items like rice, dal, oil, potatoes, onions and rajma earlier and now is using her time to cook, be on track with her fitness routine and playing the piano followed by sharing her videos of her singing on social media— more like an online concert. Looks like Shruti is all prepared for her quarantine life. Work wise, she will next be seen in the Telugu film Krack and in Vijay Sethupathi-starrer Tamil film Laabam.
On Thursday, in a special address to the nation, PM Narendra Modi had requested the people for a 'Janata Curfew' - a self imposed curfew by the people on March 22 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. as a measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
