On Sunday, the Maharashtra government announced a partial lockdown, and stricter rules were announced in Maharashtra starting from 8pm Monday, until the 30th of April. With regards to professional restrictions, private offices were urged to work entirely from home, while a complete shutdown was announced for weekends with a stricter night curfew. As for the entertainment industry, no shootings would be allowed during the weekends, but they can shoot for the rest 5 days. Now, amid all this, television actor Karan Patel has shared that it doesn’t make sense that the common man cannot go to work.
Karan Patel, who often shares his views on Instagram stories, wrote about how actors, cricketers, politicians can continue to do their jobs, but it’s the common man who will suffer the most. He shared a post that read, “Actors CAN continue to shoot for their projects. Cricketers CAN continue to play their matches, day or night. Politicians CAN hold rallies with thousands of people States CAN conduct elections and expect you to come out to vote. BUT the common man cannot go to work. #Stupid and Outright senseless.”
