Karisma Kapoor urges people to follow lockdown

Like the rest of us, celebrities are also practising self-isolation in order to win our collective fight against the Coronavirus. However, there are still some people who are not taking the lockdown seriously. Actress Karisma Kapoor has urged people to stay at home and follow the lockdown as that is the only way to stop the spread of the Coronavirus.

“It is indeed a difficult time for everyone around the globe. People are anxious, I get it. I am trying to look at the positive side. Before the lockdown started, I was busy with the promotions of my webseries for the last two months. So, this has been a nice downtime for me at home with my family. Staying indoors for a prolonged period can be tough but we have to follow the guidelines. People may feel bored or feel trapped at home, but you are doing a good deed by staying at home. So, don’t feel bad,” says Karisma.

The actress, who recently made her comeback to acting with Mentalhood, is thrilled to know that people have watched her show amid the lockdown. “I am glad Mentalhood has bought a smile to the audiences’ faces and has helped entertain them during these tough times.”

However, she does advice not to spend too much time online. “I really feel that we should not over read and over think. It is very difficult to do that at such a time but we need to find a right balance. I do not go on the internet and I do not read up excessively. There are days I don’t check what is going on at all. It is important to be cut off for a while but also be aware. Be updated but don’t overuse social media,” she concludes.
