- Titas Chowdhury

M y staff is my responsibi­lity. I have always help them irrespecti­ve of they are working for me right now or have worked with me before. Currently, my shoots have been postponed but if they ever need anything such as groceries and money, I am always there for them and they know that,” says Nidhhi Agerwal as she emphasises on the need for everyone to come forward and help the lesser privileged during the health crisis.

The actor also believes that one has to be extremely cautious while using social media as a platform to amplify requests and requiremen­ts surroundin­g Covid-19. “We should post as much positive content as possible. If there’s right informatio­n posted on social media such as availabili­ty of oxygen cylinders, then that’s great because it’s helpful to a lot of people. But posting negative things unnecessar­ily is not needed right now,” she explains.

Agerwal stresses on the need to have a positive outlook at a time

when constant exposure to informatio­n on social media is causing panic and anxiety. “We know what is happening right now. It might be tough but we should try and be positive and look at the good things in life,” she shares, adding, “Social media has always been a doubleedge­d sword. We log into our accounts to feel good and not worse about the situation.”

Looking forward to getting back on a film set, she says, “I know that the production houses and the film units I am working with will take care of everyone on the set. I would like to resume work in a safe environmen­t as soon as possible.”
