The more we talk about Covid, the more it scares people: Juhi Chawla
With the rise in Covid-19 cases in the country, Juhi Chawla finds the measures being taken not “completely right”. She agrees that stopping shoots was needed as 80 people on set is a gathering.
Chawla, who was shooting for her web series till recently, adds, “Asking unit members to wear masks for 12 hours during shoot, breathing in their own carbon dioxide damaging their health is not done. What will happen to them after a month of doing so? Would you call it the second or the third wave, or something of your own doing? When I have to wear a mask, I manage for one hour but later, I find myself pulling it down as I am unable to breathe properly. If I had to wear a mask 12 hours a day, I couldn’t do it!”
The actor feels the constant updates and non-stop news is making many people anxious. “The more we talk about the virus, the more it scares people. A lot of them out of anxiety feel breathless. I don’t know if the scare is contributing and compounding the problem.
She suggests doing yoga and practising Ayurveda everyday does help in maintaining good health and everyone should practice it.
”But no one is talking about benefits of Yoga or Ayurveda but all one hears is rushing to hospitals, oxygen cylinders and ventilators. Can you imagine how scary that must be for the common person? In the last few days, it has been worse with the rising statistics and unavailability of medicines. Hearing about such news all day affects even a healthy person. One starts thinking of the worst and that affects your health too.”
