In a recent interview, actor Alia Bhatt spoke about the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, and how it not only threw Bollywood, but the entire world into a mayhem. Busy shooting for multiple projects before the lockdown struck, Alia said she decided to use all that time learning different aspects of business.

“It's been a challenging year for all of us,” she said. “When I realised I had all this time to myself, I decided to use it productively, learning more about the different aspects of business and the market. And of course, I used the time to catch up on my reading and binge-watching content.” Now, with lockdown restrictions lifted, everyone has resumed work and Alia is no different. The actress returned to the sets of 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'. When asked how things have changed, she said, “It’s a great feeling to be reunited with the team and being back on set. Of course, we have multiple restrictions and protocols to follow, everyone is very careful, taking all sorts of precautions. But we’ve accepted that this is the new normal, and we’re all trying to make the best of the situation.”

When asked if she had any apprehensions about returning to work full time, the 27 year old said, “Like I said, we are all apprehensive, these are uncertain times but we have to make an effort and look at doing the best that we all can do. Also the ability to be back on set doing what you love is a blessing and I feel very grateful for every moment.”
