While many from the entertainment world are adapting to the working from home culture, Dandekar, 39, shares, “Post lockdown, a lot of content will now be created from home and we really don’t have to physically go outside to work,” she says.

It’s about characters having some sort of impact on the board of schemes that are occurring,” she adds.

Since the pandemic has affected each and every person’s life, the actor says that we’ve to be patient, positive and understand that it may be difficult for everybody. “I’m just trying to be as calm as possible and taking each day as it comes and not going to the panic mode. Just figure out how to slowly but surely get things back to normal,” she says.
