At times, I don’t even realise which day or date it is: Kriti Sanon

With India ready to ‘unlock’ after lockdown 5.0, a lot that was on a pause mode since mid-march is expected to gain momentum. And for actor Kriti Sanon, too, “things have been the same” for quite some time and she is raring to get in action mode.

“It feels like time is just passing by. At times, I don’t even realise which day or date itis( says Sanon, who has been “having a great time” with parents and sister, Nupur Sanon, at her Andheri home. Her recent Instagram video shows Sanon teaching Punjabi hip-hop moves to her mother on the song, London Thumakda (Queen; 2014).

Before the nationwide lockdown came into force, Sanon was busy with her next release, Mimi, which reunites the actor with her Luka Chuppi (2019) director, Laxman Utekar. “For the first month or so, I was really chilling. But now, I miss being on the sets and going through my ‘normal, daily’ routine,” says the actor.

Although her work was disrupted, Sanon chooses to look at the positives instead. “Surely, lockdown brought along tonnes of problems for many people,” she says, adding, “But in hindsight, I feel even a busy city like Mumbai has been much calmer. You could see a clearer sky, and even hear birds chirping. That way, it has been great.”

Once work resumes, Sanon, 29, will be all busy again, starting with Akshay Kumarstarrer Bachchan Pandey and

Dinesh Vijan’s next production co-starring Rajkummar Rao, Dimple Kapadia and Paresh Rawal. “Whenever I start working again, I will value that a lot, and also enjoy it much more,” says the actor, who has also been spending time “baking and cooking new dishes”.
