Panipat he Covid-19 situation and the lockdown reminds Hiten Tejwani of last year. He says the lockdown last year taught us a lot and so it was easier to slip into the second lockdown. “It doesn’t feel any different. We are all waiting for the lockdown to end, so we can get back to work. Everyone is fed up by now. We all want to go back to our routines but it is easier said that done. It will take time. As the number of cases are high, vaccination is the only way out,” says the actor.
No vaccine for kids is another concern for Tejwani, who has two 11-year-olds. He is concerned about their wellbeing as they have been without peer or social interaction for last 18 months.
“It has been too long for them. Maybe they have forgotten

While Sanon has become more confident with each of her films, she admits it has been quite a learning to not just polish her craft but also understand herself as a person.
“In these seven years, I remember figuring out my process almost by hit and trial, and seeing what works for me and what does not. I discovered one more thing about myself that it’s nice when you don’t know it all. I don’t know it all and I don’t want to know it all. I’m still discovering the process,” she muses.
The present year may be marred with the second wave of the pandemic, but Sanon has a packed and exciting line-up ahead including pan-india mythology film Adipurush, horror film Bhediya, which she recently shot in Arunachal Pradesh, Mimi, action film Ganapath, Bachchan Pandey and Hum Do Hamare Do.
While she’s pleased with her new slate of films, the actor admits there’s something that she’d have wanted to do differently in the last seven years.
“I have no regrets about the films that I’ve been a part of. I’ve learnt from each one of them — from my successes and my failures. The first three to four years of my career, I was pretty slow. I was being very safe and cautious. I didn’t want to make a wrong move. I was very selective with the projects that I did. I didn’t realise it back then that a film or script doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect. When a script comes to you, it also goes through a journey, and sometimes, things end up getting much better than what is on paper. I’d have probably liked to have done more number of films if I could,” she concludes.
