TMKOC artists on plans for Quarantine time-out

In the ensuing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) spread, containment measures being taken by the Government have brought shootings in the Film City to a halt.

India’s most loved comedy show – Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah too has stopped shooting temporarily, and the actors of the show have some interesting takes on how they plan to spend the time off from work:

"I consider this is an excellent opportunity for me to get in touch with my real self and go back to the basics. The key thing is to not panic and keep a positive attitude. I would like to see how I react to this quarantine and how long I can enjoy my own company. Also, this is a good time to revive my hobbies like playing the guitar or the ukulele and writing something for myself. So yes, I am mentally geared up for this forced holiday," says Kush Shah, who plays Goli in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.

"Some of the precautions I will undertake include staying at home, wearing a mask whenever I step out, avoid going to crowded places, wash hands for 20 seconds, use a hand sanitizer and eat healthy home-cooked food. I would like to utilise this opportunity to spend quality time with my family and loved ones. My activities will primarily focus on fitness and self-care. I will practice yoga and dance which are my favourite pastimes and also catch up on some reading for which I have shortlisted some books. Other than this, I will join my mother in cooking and watch some 90's blockbusters with my father. I will also indulge in some good sleep and pamper my skin," says Palak Sidhwani, who plays the role of Sonu.
