‘Lockdown is a blessing... in disguise’

Actor Gunjan Utreja feels having the option to stay at home during this lockdown is a luxury. The actor says that there are many people, who don’t have the option of sitting safely in their homes and one must appreciate it.

“These are difficult times and there are millions across the globe, who are not as privileged as we are, to be locked in big homes. In a country like India, social distancing is a luxury. So, if there is anyone, who is getting bored and complaining, then he or she is not aware of the harsh realities of life,” he says.

Gunjan further says that he is enjoying his time at home, “As artistes, our job is to constantly work on ourselves. This lockdown can be one of the most liberating periods of our lifetime. Personally, I have always been on the move. I am usually travelling 15 days a month to various countries to shoot or host shows. But I am equally comfortable being confined within my home with my books, movies, and music. I have always been planning to learn few musical instruments but couldn’t do as I was always on the move. This has been such a blessing in disguise.”
