It has taught us to value it, think deep and introspect. One should be content in life and not take anything for granted.

Life may never be the same again, but I am looking at these changes positively.”

He adds, “The journey, from shooting a film on a set to adapting to working from home, has taught me to use technology to my advantage. There was little that we could do, but as they say, the show must go on! That’s what kept me going throughout the lockdown despite all the restrictions.”
