“We had shut our office even before the lockdown happened. Of course, everything has been put on the backburner as far as work is concerned at the moment and I’m at home. But it is not a vacation for me. In fact, the stuff around the house is still manageable, but the work part is tough because I have to use this time to come up with new ideas, so that when this whole crisis is over I have things ready to shoot,” shares Mittal.

The perks of having a bigger little one and a smaller little one. @areezahussein finds new ways of entertaining @arhamhussein and I must say both of them are so cute together! He's not clingy and Areeza loves to be hugged all the time.. yet Arham doesn't mind her picking him up pretty much the whole day and smothering him with love! Although both of them are really demanding, I frankly admit, this lockdown would've impossible without the company of these two. Don't feel left out @mohithussein !

For all those people who are beginning to lose it because of whatever reason... Monotony, boredom, being over worked, constantly attending to the kids, the lack of having anybody to talk to, not getting supplies, business crumbling down, arguments at home... I just want to tell you, this too shall pass. Stay strong, stay positive. Take 5 minutes out for yourself right now, leave the work, leave the kids, leave your phone. Find a corner in the house.. your balcony, your bathroom if nothing else.. and just think of yourself. Be with yourself. Love yourself. And remember.. you're doing better than the best you can. #loveyourself ________________ #staypositive #stayathome #bepositive #bestrong #staystrong #chhavimittal #BeingWomanWithChhavi #beingpositive #whatsyoursecretwithchhavi #coronavírus #lockdown #quarantinelife
