‘Extremely cautious about the pandemic’

Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana is busy shooting his next, a progressive love story Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, being directed by Abhishek Kapoor.

The youth icon is shooting this film in his hometown Chandigarh but we discovered that he is not staying with his family and rather checked himself into a hotel.

Ayushmann reveals, “I have been extremely cautious through the pandemic and taken every possible step to not catch the virus and protect my family. My wife and my two young kids should not come in harm’s way because of me. It is for the safety of my parents too.”

‘Working with senior actors was a dream come true for me. Not only were they friendly but also supportive. I learnt a lot from them. For me it was like attending a school with brilliant teachers. I used to just observe how they would portray a scene. Even if I had an early pack up, I would sit on the set and just observe them.’

Actor Varun Sharma can’t wait to tick off skydiving from his bucket list.

The adventure sport, the Bollywood funnyman reveals, was to be his gift to himself on his birthday in February but that couldn’t happen because the COVID outbreak started happening around the time.

“I really want to do skydiving. I even planned to go out and do skydiving on my birthday this year but the pandemic happened. I hope things come back to normal. Most probably I will go next year and try out skydiving,” Varun said.

Gal gives a sneak peek into set life

Hollywood actor Gal Gadot says shooting amid the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic came with lots of sacrifices, adding that the crew was sequestered for the entire duration.

The actor took to Instagram to reflect on her experience of working in the COVID-19 era after wrapping up the shoot of her forthcoming heist film, Red Notice, which also stars Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds.

“Now that I’m back home I’ve had time to reflect on the past couple of months shooting the film. The work during the pandemic came with a lot of sacrifices especially from our amazing crew,” Gadot wrote.
