Kirti Kulhari can’t wait to go out and shoot, ‘as soon as possible’

Unlike many who are apprehensive about stepping out and resuming work anytime soon, actor Kirti Kulhari is itching to get back on the set and start shooting.

“People are surprised to see my enthusiasm,” she quips, adding that she can’t say how different the shooting experience would be “until I’m in the middle of it”. “But yes, I can’t wait to go and shoot, as soon as possible,” she shares.

Aware of the safety guidelines issued by the Maharashtra government, the Indu Sarkar (2017) actor understands that it won’t be easy to put them into practice with the crisis at hand.

“There are many guidelines to adhere to, and a whole lot of things look very pretty on paper. But I don’t know how practical it’s going to be. It’s only when you go out there in the field that you start learning how limiting the guidelines are,” says Kulhari, who was last seen in the second season of web series Four More Shots Please! which released in May this year.

While shoots have resumed, at least for TV and web projects, some of the actors — including Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan — testing positive sent everyone into a tizzy, and led to questions whether it’s indeed the right time to resume work.

The 35-year-old says that the risk is around everyone. “If people wait for the risk to become zero and then step out, it’s next to impossible, at least for the next six months. They have to work around everything, even for the ones going to offices, they’ve got to be careful. Personally, I’m not somebody who is very panic-stricken thinking what’s going to happen,” she says, adding that while she would do her best and stay safe, “I also want to get back to my shooting and life and I hope guidelines will also gradually get changed for the better”.
