Back when COVID-19's scare was at it's epitome and everyone was under lockdown and in their houses, there was an array of celebrities who contracted the disease. It continues to be a deal even today but at that time, it seemed like a bigger deal. One of the first celebrities to be contracted with coronavirus was actor Shrenu Parikh.

Now, after all this time, the actor is all set, rolling and back in action indeed. Having just recently shot for a music video, Parikh opened up on the experience of facing the camera after all this time. She said, "This was my first shoot after recovering from COVID-19 and facing the camera again after almost five months made me quite emotional. I felt a rush of emotions because I had really missed being on the sets. While I was excited, I was a bit nervous and scared as well because a few months back, I had probably contracted the virus while I was on the set for a shoot. But overall, I loved the experience. Although it was a very hectic day, I enjoyed every bit of it. It was a much-needed break from staying indoors all the time and I felt rejuvenated. When you haven’t faced the camera for months, it’s pretty common to feel a bit jittery. I have been working out to gradually lose weight and I was very conscious about how I was looking. But eventually, I managed to do a good job."

She added, "The entire shooting experience is drastically different now. The sets and makeup rooms are sanitised at regular intervals, and we are shooting with fewer people (about one-fourth of what we usually have on the sets). Constant announcements are made requesting people to wear masks. The actors are the most vulnerable people on any set because we can’t be wearing a mask all the time, and come into contact with many people. I am now extra careful and while people may think that I am paranoid, I can’t really help it. After the kind of experience that I had while battling COVID-19, I feel that all of us need to be very careful while working."

We hope Parikh continues to shine as always.
