Glad my parents aren’t living near any hotspot
The lockdown is proving to be the longest break that Taapsee Pannu has ever taken, and she is living it up with her sister Shagun Pannu. “I really needed this time to spend with my family and refresh my energy. We work so hard to build our own house, and we barely live there. Now, I’ve so much time that I sit for hours in my favourite corners of the house,” says Pannu, 32.
She, however, misses her parents, who are currently in Delhi. “I’m glad that my parents aren’t living anywhere near the hotspots. They’re in their 60s and need to be careful. They used to stay indoors most of the time, so the lockdown hasn’t affected them the way it has affected us. They are more worried about how we’re coping,” Pannu shares.
Covid-19 has brought the world to a halt. And for Pannu, too — who had an entire year blocked for her upcoming movies, such as Haseen Dillruba, Rashmi Rocket,
Looop Lapeta and Shabaash Mithu — everything has gone haywire.
“For me, it’s all about living in the moment. So we’ve our own Friday nights, where we watch a nice movie. We plan a dinner party on Saturdays and enjoy sundowners every Sunday. We just try to innovate,” she says.
On how she’s not compromising her fitness regime, she says, “I’ve downloaded a few cognitive and meditation apps, and also do reading exercises to keep myself mentally busy. Physical workout is going on at home, but I don’t post pictures or videos as I hate getting filmed during that time. I feel it’s not a pleasant sight.”
