I have made up for the lost time with my family and have even got the much needed break. I have spent time with my darling niece and even celebrated special moments with my family after long. What worries me most is how I will get used to shooting while social distancing. Unlike others, we will not be able to shoot with a mask on or even have a sanitizer on me all the time, while interacting with so many people although we shall follow all rules and precautions. I am in a strict 14 day self-quarantine period before we resume shooting. Moreover, getting back to the daily schedules and the 20-25 kg costume with more than 200pins in my hair will take some time as well.”

Rati recalls how she had a sizable team who would do her make-up which would take hours but that would drastically change post the lockdown, “The make-up, hair and costumes were heavy and took a while to get done. A team of 5 people and a minimum of 6 hours were needed every day to get the look done. Unlike earlier, this won’t be the same now. I have volunteered to do my own make-up to maintain social distancing and till the situation improves,

I will wash my costumes too.” Rati has been expressive about how she has taken extra care and followed all safety measures/guidelines especially because she has a baby and senior citizen in the family. She shared how she has used salt, iodine and cleaning agents to make sure all is taken care off.Seeing the situation around in Mumbai, Rati says that “It worries me how educated citizens of Mumbai are behaving more irresponsibly than those here in Patna. I have seen photos of people without masks and not maintaining social distancing and it scares me. But with that said at the end of the day, I am also just as excited to see old faces and start work again. I have missed my team terribly and can’t wait to see those beloved faces again.”While Rati can't contain her excitement, fans are equally eager to catch their favourite actress back in action.Dangal TV will soon resume airing fresh episodes of Devi Aadi Parashakti.
