Actor-comedian Sunil Grover was not hesitant about getting back to set and start shooting, but he can’t wait for things to go back to normal.

“I just want this pandemic to get over, so that we can shoot 12 hours a day, and see people without a mask. I am tired of looking at people with the mask on. I want to see their real faces,” says Grover, adding that the personal touch has somewhat gone missing in the

pandemic era.

Of all the people he has met during the last year-and-a-half, for work or otherwise, the actor says he hasn’t seen anyone’s face.

“I don’t know with whom I am working. Tomorrow, if I’m doing a project, and once the pandemic is over, I don’t know if I’ll be able to recognise them. I’ve only seen them with the mask and only if they remove it, I’ll be able to figure out,” he shares.

The actor, who was last seen in the web show Sunflower, admits that he is clueless about his new friends.

“I’m making friends with those people, but who are those people,” he jokes. Recalling an incident, the 43-year-old tells us, “Once, while working on Sunflower ,I went on set in the morning, and a guy was having tea out in the open without the mask. He looked at me and said, ‘Sir, scene bahut achha kiya’. I was like, ‘Thank you, but which department are you from?’ He told me he has been styling my hair for the past two months every day, and when he wore a mask, I recognised him! So, we don’t know who we are working with.”
