The
lockdown
in
place
in
India
to
prevent
the
spread
of
Novel
Coronavirus
(COVID-19)
is
challenging
to
people
for
many
reasons.
For
those
who
are
used
to
a
life
of
hustle,
it
is
testing
to
find
themselves
locked
in
their
houses
for
a
period
of
21-days.
Ananya
Panday
says
she
has
never
had
this
long
a
break
from
work
ever
since
she
made
her
acting
debut
in
the
2018
film
Student
Of
The
Year
2,
and
therefore
feels
the
lockdown
and
self-isolation
is
surreal.
She
is
itching
to
go
back
to
work,
but
understands
the
need
to
prioritize
health
and
safety
of
the
nation.
Speaking
to
Hindustan
Times,
Ananya
said,
"It's
a
very
different
time
and
a
surreal
feeling
for
me,
because
ever
since
I've
started
shooting,
I've
never
stayed
at
home
for
this
long.
I've
been
working
back-to-back
and
never
got
this
long
a
break.
I
would
take
a
break
from
work
for
not
more
than
three
days.
But
now,
it
has
been
more
than
a
week
and
I'm
already
missing
work.
I
hope
the
crisis
gets
over
and
I
can
get
back
to
it
soon."
She
added,
"It
has
affected
my
work
and
everyone
else's
as
well.
The
shooting
of
two
of
my
films
has
got
pushed.
Everything
is
postponed,
leading
to
major
losses,
but
health
is
more
important
than
anything
else."
Regarding
those
who
are
not
taking
the
lockdown
seriously,
Ananya
said
that
they
should
understand
why
we
are
self-isolating
ourselves.
She
said
that
she
herself
has
not
been
socializing
with
her
friends.
She
stressed
that
we
must
take
the
necessary
precautions
and
only
then
we
can
stop
the
virus
from
spreading
further.
