Veteran
Kannada
actress
Jayanthi
has
reportedly
been
stranded
in
Hampi
in
Bellary
district,
due
to
the
nationwide
lockdown
to
curb
the
spread
of
Novel
Coronavirus.
The
75-year-old
actress
is
stuck
in
the
historical
place
for
weeks
now,
along
with
her
son
Krishna
Kumar.
Well,
Jayanthi
and
her
son
had
gone
on
a
trip
to
Hampi
when
the
lockdown
was
imposed
by
the
Indian
government
from
March
25.
Since
then,
they
have
been
staying
in
a
hotel.
Until
April
14,
they
were
hoping
to
return
to
Bengaluru
after
the
21-day
lockdown.
However,
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
extended
the
lockdown
till
May
3.
Hence,
with
no
choice
left,
they
have
to
stay
in
the
same
hotel
for
a
few
more
weeks.
Due
to
this,
Jayanthi
fans
have
been
worrying
about
her
health,
but
they
need
not
worry
about
it
as
she
is
fine.
Her
son
Krishna
Kumar
told
a
leading
daily,
"We
are
doing
fine.
Doctors
and
officials
are
in
touch
with
us.
The
government
has
the
challenge
to
address
public
issues,
first.
We
will
call
for
help
if
there
is
an
emergency."
Jayanthi
has
worked
in
over
500
films
in
her
career,
not
just
in
Kannada,
but
also
in
Tamil,
Telugu,
Hindi,
Malayalam
and
Marathi
films.
