Shilpa
Shetty
penned
a
heartfelt
note
to
all
Mumbaikars
amidst
the
lockdown
in
place
to
fight
Novel
Coronavirus
(COVID-19).
She
wrote
that
while
it
is
'disheartening'
to
see
Mumbai
city
so
quite,
in
a
way
that
she
had
never
imagined
before,
she
is
consoled
by
the
fact
that
it
means
that
most
people
are
abiding
by
the
lockdown.
Sharing
pictures
of
the
empty
streets
of
Mumbai
on
her
Instagram
handle,
Shilpa
wrote,
"I
am
an
'assal
Mumbaikar'...
and
like
all
of
us,
I've
always
known
of
Mumbai
as
the
city
that
never
sleeps!
Never
did
I
think
that
there'd
be
a
day
when
I'd
see
the
streets
of
my
city
empty
as
they
are
today.
I
have
been
seeing
some
of
these
images
on
the
internet
ever
since
the
Janta
Curfew
and
the
subsequent
lockdown.
It's
disheartening
to
see
the
city
so
silent,
but
also
a
consolation
that
'most'
people
who
are
responsible
and
sensible
are
staying
at
home."
She
added,
"It's
a
matter
of
time,
I'm
sure
that
together
with
our
indomitable
spirit,
we
will
fight
this
too!
Today,
I'm
grateful
for
belonging
to
a
city
that
has
stood
the
test
of
time
and
fought
every
battle
in
front
of
us
as
one
unified
force.
I'm
a
proud
Mumbaikar
and
Indian
🇮🇳❤️🙏🏻

With
regard
to
work,
Shilpa
is
set
to
make
her
comeback
to
the
big
screen
with
Nikamma,
a
film
directed
by
Sabbir
Khan,
co-starring
Abhimanyu
Dassani
and
Shirley
Setia.
She
will
also
be
seen
in
Hungama
2,
starring
alongside
Paresh
Rawal,
Pranitha
Subhash,
and
Meezaan
Jaffrey.
However,
both
films
are
at
a
standstill
because
of
the
lockdown.
