MUMBAI: Bollywood star Ranveer Singh says it is devastating to witness the turmoil caused due to the coronavirus pandemic across the country and globe.
The actor said it has taken him a while to wrap his head around the pandemic. “I have been going through various phases. Every time you wake up in the morning and read the news, read what is happening and it’s a very grim scenario.
“It’s disturbing, it’s actually devastating to witness what is happening in this unprecedented pandemic to all our brothers and sisters not just in our country but across the world,” Ranveer said.
The “Gully Boy” actor said he felt weighed down with the news around him and was in no frame of mind to engage with people on social media.
“You know what the world is facing, this global crisis, that it really weighs down on you. So, I was going through my own process to – wrapping my head around it in a way that it has an effect on you emotionally, mentally. I don’t think I was prepared to engage anyone or anything in public,” he said.
The actor said he has been trying to use the quarantine in a positive way.
“Trying to be positive, trying to be optimistic, trying to find the silver lining, trying to see the brighter side of things as grim a scenario that it is. So, I also used this time to kind of hibernate and experience the joy of doing nothing. There is a charm to that as well.” (AGENCIES)
