Elli returns to India amid second wave of pandemic
Afew days back, Elli Avrram came back to Mumbai from Sweden, where she spent the past month in the company of her loved ones. She reveals that while her family was worried about her travel back to India amid the second wave of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, she had to come back since she has to move to a new apartment in the city.
Currently quarantining in her pad, she shares, “I was supposed to be back much earlier but due to the rise in the cases in the city, I kept pushing my return flight. I had to come back now because I need to move out of my present apartment.”
The actor adds, “It’s a scary situation, but I tried to not be scared while travelling. In fact, my parents and friends were more worried. I’m trying to not worry and I’m making sure to follow all home quarantine rules.”
She says that the Covid situation in Sweden is strange. “It’s quite confusing there. No one wears masks in Sweden but they do maintain social distancing and follow Covid-related rules at restaurants and stores. To be honest, everyone there is so chill about the virus. I didn’t meet most of my friends. I didn’t want to catch the virus and pass it on to my parents or my grandmother,” she narrates.
As Avrram looks forward to resuming her shoots, she stresses on the need to not panic. “I’m eager to start shooting but I’ll make sure that things are taken care of properly. I believe that it’s important to not feed fear because fear has the power to destroy us,” she signs off.

Despite the gloom and panic surrounding us amid the second wave of the Covid-19 crisis, many Good Samaritans have come forward to help people in distress. From distributing free meals to Covid-positive patients and those struggling financially amid the pandemic, to helping in arranging medicines and oxygen cylinders, people have gone all out to stand by each other. And Manoj Bajpayee is overwhelmed to see this unity.
The actor has been amplifying people’s requests on social media and connecting them to the right resources. He tells us, “It has been tough for everyone in the country in this second surge of Covid-19 cases. But they have come forward to help both known and unknown people. The manner in which the entire nation has come together to help one another has been an extraordinary experience.”
Bajpayee, 52, feels such selfless and relentless efforts prove that no matter what, we are united as a country. “It also shows how much we feel about humanity,” says the actor, who fought the virus, along with his wife and recovered successfully. He continues, “In the end, humanity alone will stand victorious — no amount of money or fame is going to help you.”
While work in the industry has come to a standstill, Bajpayee is awaiting the release of the second season of his web show. “I am waiting and praying this corona time passes, so we can get back to work. If you are not shooting, commitments get postponed and no room is left for any new work,” he concludes.
