New Delhi:
Several players are back on the sets of their respective television shows, films and other entertainment projects and they are adapting to the new security measures due to the epidemic of coronavirus in India. Maniesh Paul, who hosts a reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs, talked about resuming filming in an interview with Mumbai mirror and shared the details of the new security protocols on the workstations. “We have a doctor to check our oxygen levels and our temperature at the entrance. We must wash our hands before entering the van because it is disinfected before use,” he said.
“It’s no longer about the warm welcome, hugs and handshakes,” said Maniesh. “And we have to be hidden until the camera rolls. The saddest thing for me is that there is no more live audience. “
After resuming filming last month, several celebrities tested positive for the coronavirus. Actor Amitabh Bachchan, who blogged about the shooting of a popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, COVID-19 tested positive over the weekend with son Abhishek, who in turn was busy with the post-production work of his recent web series Breathe: in the shadows. Aishwarya’s wife from Abhishek and their daughter tested positive for coronavirus the next day. However, Abhishek Breathe co-star Amit Sadh tested negative for coronavirus.
Actor Parth Samthaan, who started filming Kasautii Zindagii Kay last month, also tested positive for coronavirus. So far, none of his co-stars – Erica Fernandes, Karan Patel, Aamna Sharif, Shubhaavi Choksey and Pooja Banerjee – have tested COVID-19 positive.
