Actor Waluscha De Sousa, who is working on a web series next, says she was ‘very apprehensive’ about stepping out for work amidst the Covid 19 pandemic.

Getting back to work seems to be the priority for a lot of actors lately,even amid the rise in Covid-19 positive cases. And joining that list is Waluscha De Sousa, who has started shooting for her web series.

Actor Waluscha De Sousa was a part of the 2016 Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Fan.

Ask her whether she was sceptical at any point about stepping out, and the actor agrees, believing that this virus is not going away anytime soon.

“I was very apprehensive given that it would mean exposing myself and therefore be at great risk of not just contracting Covid but also being responsible perhaps for unknowingly giving it to someone else. But, I guess we all have to learn how to live with this and adapt to the new normal as we unfortunately do not have the luxury of sitting this one out,” she says.

On the sets of the show, which is being directed and written by Siddharth Kumar Tewary, she describes that the whole scenario has changed.

De Sousa has teamed up with Siddharth and Shweta Tripathi for this show. She reveals that it revolves around technology and social media, and what goes on in the lives of people using it.

“My character in this series is very powerful and strong. A 21st century boss lady. A woman in control who calls the shots in a man’s world. Now why would I think twice?,” she opines.
