Dia Mirza, who has been making the best use of her time at home amid the nation-wide lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak, revealed that she is happy about being home as she feels safe.
Talking about how she likes doing household work and staying home, she said, ‘To be home means being safe, comfortable and lucky. It’s also a space that I’ve always enjoyed. While I’m a social human being, I’m quite comfortable being home and leading a domesticated, simple life,’ shares the actor.
She is also worried for all the underprivileged and the immigrants. ‘As a citizen of the country, I feel terrible that so many people are going through such difficulties, so many are displaced and struggling on a daily basis. I feel immense gratitude for the police, municipal workers, bureaucrats, people working in the supply chain and sanitation workers. The list is long but these people are committed to fighting this,’
She also said that the entire situation is extremely painful and how she sees a little bit of positivity in it by stating how it all has been a great leveller.
Explaining the same, she said, ‘In many ways nature is playing her part in helping more people than ever before making them recognize and acknowledge that we’re all connected. That the lines of divisions and boundaries that divide us across all themes, whether it’s country, culture, religion class are all invisible right now.’
Dia also called this an act of nature and said that this is a wake up call for all of us to think and remind ourselves about what damages have been done by us in our surroundings.
‘People are talking about how nature is getting an opportunity to heal. Us, city dwellers are collectively recognising that the air is cleaner, we hear the birds chirping and so on. Basically, nature is reclaiming spaces that we controlled completely with our activities. That aside, the larger sense of hope that this situation tells us is that we are really one entity and we belong to one home,’ said that actor-environmentalist. (Agencies)
