A
number
of
actors
in
the
recent
past
have
spoken
about
the
ways
in
which
the
COVID-19
pandemic
has
altered
life
beyond
anyone’s
imagination.
Add
to
this,
the
lockdown
has
made
everyone
realise
the
value
of
freedom
and
other
things
one
took
for
granted
even
a
few
months
ago.
And
now,
Naagin
fame
Arjun
Bijlani
has
spoken
to
the
Times
of
India
about
travelling
to
Goa
with
his
family
to
'breathe
in
fresh
air’
away
from
Mumbai.
Arjun
said,
“The
cases
of
coronavirus
positive
patients
are
less
in
Goa
and
things
are
different
here
when
compared
to
Mumbai.
The
situation
there
(Mumbai)
is
very
different
and
scary.
You
may
choose
to
look
the
other
way,
but
the
fact
is
that
we
need
a
vaccine
or
a
permanent
treatment
of
this
virus.
I
think
that
would
be
real
freedom.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“Earlier
we
could
move
freely,
we
could
go
wherever
we
wanted,
and
meet
whoever
we
wanted.
I
think
anything
that
comes
easily,
we
begin
to
underestimate
them
and
take
them
for
granted….
that's
human
nature.
The
pandemic
has
taught
us
many
life
lessons
and
now
we’ve
learnt
to
value
simple
joys
of
life,”
adds
Arjun.
On
being
quizzed
about
how
he
plans
to
deal
with
the
corona
crisis
going
forward,
the
actor
replied,
“The
pandemic
has
changed
a
lot
of
things
for
us
and
now,
we
all
need
freedom
from
this
fear
of
COVID.
While
we
have
learnt
to
navigate
through
the
pandemic
and
live
in
the
new
normal,
we
all
need
to
get
rid
of
the
fear
of
this
virus.”
