The
Hindi
television
industry
in
Mumbai
was
granted
permission
to
resume
shooting
by
the
government
of
Maharashtra,
provided
the
producers,
cast
and
crew
adhere
to
guidelines
issued
to
combat
the
spread
of
COVID-19
on
sets.
Many
production
houses
are
currently
busy
putting
their
house
in
order
to
return
to
work
at
the
earliest.
However,
Bhabiji
Ghar
Par
Hain
actor
Saumya
Tandon
recently
posed
a
few
noteworthy
queries
and
concerns
pertaining
to
the
implementation
and
adherence
of
COVID-19
guidelines
on
the
floor.
Saumya
said,
“Our
nature
of
work
is
such
that
we
work
in
close
intimacy
as
we
have
people
who
do
our
makeup
and
hair,
people
who
fix
our
mics
or
sari,
shoot
in
close
contact
with
co-stars,
and
so
many
other
things,
unlike
a
regular
office
where
people
are
in
cubicles
and
can
maintain
distance.”
She
went
on
to
add,
“The
guidelines
say
only
33%
of
a
standard
unit
will
be
operational
but
I
think
everyone
on
set
should
be
tested
for
Covid-19
even
if
they
don’t
show
symptoms,
so
to
eliminate
any
chances.
There
is
no
such
point
recommended
in
the
guidelines.”
The
actress
also
suggested
a
monitoring
agency
be
formed
to
supervise
the
safety-regulation
while
shooting
amid
the
pandemic.
“The
guidelines
also
say
that
everyone
will
be
stationed
where
they
are
shooting.
Moreover,
we
need
to
have
a
monitoring
agency
to
ensure
all
the
guidelines
are
followed
by
production
houses.
It
will
be
up
to
the
individuals
to
do
their
bit.
Everyone
is
so
desperate
to
get
back
to
work
as
everyone
is
worried
about
their
livelihoods
that
it
can
lead
to
lapses
and
carelessness.
It
is
scary.
The
channel
heads
and
creative
teams
won’t
be
on
the
sets
while
actors
and
unit
members
will
be.
So,
we
have
to
take
extra
precautions,”
she
said.
