Geeta feels ‘happy and energised’ after resuming work
Choreographer Geeta Kapur is happy to be back on the sets of the reality show that she is judging, even as she tries her best to balance time between the shoot and taking care of her mother, Rani Kapur, 70, who’s suffering from a kidney ailment and was recently hospitalised due to fever.
“Thankfully she’s doing better but would take some time before she can come home. When she got fever, we really got worried and got Covid-19 test done for her, myself and our help, and they were negative,” says Kapur.
The chowreographer also confesses to have become ‘paranoid’ of coming in close proximity with her mother, after returning from the set. “However, after I went back to the set, I realised that they’re following a lot more precautions. And if I’m being responsible too, then things can go on smoothly. So every time I go to set, I quarantine for at least two-three days before I meet my mother, from a distance,” she says.
While many are still wary of stepping out, Kapur asserts that she needed to resume shooting, for her mental and emotional satisfaction, as well as financial stability.
“Going by the escalating hospital bills and other expenses, I had to get back to work. My mother hasn’t been keeping well since last year and medical expenses have only gone up... I’ve also been paying my staff for last few months. They’re dependent on me to run their kitchen. I’ve to earn enough to take care of all this,” she says, adding that good work keeps her happy and energised.
“When you enjoy what you do, it does make a difference,” she signs off.
