As the Coronavirus pandemic has reached its peak in most of the countries, people have accepted the new normal that includes social distancing, masks and sanitizers. The very same is also being applied in the film industry across the globe, as shootings begin with all the precautionary measures. Something similar is the case of Mouni Roy, who recently landed in London from Abu Dubai, to reportedly shoot for her new film. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, the Gold actress opened up on shooting amid the new normal and that she is extremely petrified and nervous. Mouni also spilled the beans on her flight experience amid the pandemic.
Comparing her experiences before and after the lockdown, Mouni said, "I used to look forward to the long flights as I like reading and watching movies and sleeping in between for 15-20 minutes every hour. But the experience was not like that at all. In fact, it was quite unnerving waiting at the airport and later on the flight. Guess, it will take some time getting used to this manner of travel, as this was the first time I travelled after the lockdown.” Mouni Roy is in London to shoot for her latest project, the details of which will be officially announced soon. She, however, is unsure about her return to Mumbai.
Talking about getting back on-sets after a really long time, Mouni adds that she is quite nervous as actors will be the only people to not wear masks or gloves while shooting. However, Mouni will make it a point to take all the safety precautions.
"I am quite petrified and nervous as actors are the only people on a set, who wouldn’t wear any masks or gloves while shooting or in a shot. But I was dying to work and be on a set, so we kind of have to get used to the new normal. Let’s see how it goes. It is my first time under the circumstances, so I will know and understand better as we start shooting. I have been promised that all the safety measures would be taken and social distancing would be practised on set. So, I am hoping for the best. One day at a time,” she concluded.
