Covid-19 has affected kids too, says Jasmin

Even as social media is being lauded by many during these Covid-19 times, one can’t also deny the dash of negativity that exists. “As far as social media is concerned, let’s think about how it has made our lives better even at this time. But at times, things go out of hand and turn too toxic to handle. I believe we all have it in ourselves to tackle negativity with courage and smile,” says actor Jasmin Bhasin, adding, “As a responsible person and an actor, I just want to spread positivity and smile,” she says.

Reflecting the concern around mental health these days, Bhasin, 29, shares that many of us often fail to understand the stress that kids go through. “Much like adults, these unpredictable times have also affected them emotionally. I’ve been trying to interact with them through my fan pages via live conversations. They ask me about how I spend my day, when would I go back to work and talk about what they are facing,” she says.

While the actor is worried about her family in Kota, Rajasthan, she ensures that she stays in touch with them. “I was quite tense initially, but I’ve realised that I need to stay strong to keep them happy. My pets (two dogs Mia and Rambo) are keeping me company. The love from my fans also makes me smile and believe that this too shall pass,” adds Bhasin, urging everyone to use this time to introspect and see how we can change our lives for the better.
