But for TV actress Saumya Tandon, things are different. For her, work never stopped. In fact, she has revealed that she bought a stand and light so that work could be continued from home.

In an interview, Saumya said, “A lot of advertisements and shoots are happening from home only. I’ve hosted a couple of shows from home and shot a lot of social media ads as well. That’s very interesting. This is the new normal. I’m trying to adjust to new norms. I’ve become very good with the camera work, too.”
Tandon sympathized with the stressful conditions people are going through amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic and lockdown. She quoted, “My heart goes out to a lot of people, who have lost jobs, have had salary cuts, and are left with very few savings. It has been very tough for them. Thankfully, I’m not in that situation, I work because I want to. But, there are a lot of people who’re in that situation. It’s so heartbreaking to see them suffer.”
Talking elaborately on the importance of keeping oneself mentally occupied during these tough times, the 36-year-old actress said, “It’s also integral because you feel productive, worthy, and get the feeling that you’re doing something with your life. Otherwise, it becomes very depressing. There are so many mental challenges one has to go through. It’s not that just by sitting at home one is safe. There are a lot of challenges one has to work through with patience. Right now, we all are dealing with issues like confusion, restlessness, feeling lost, loss of purpose, insecurity about the future.”
