MUMBAI: While Diwali is around the corner, this year the festival will be quite low-key due to the rapid spread of the deadly Covid-19. Actor Shashank Vyas, who will be seen in the film Laila Majnu directed by Prem Soni, says that usually he meets a lot of people on Diwali, but this year, things will be different. “This year, Diwali celebration will be a little different as compared to every year. Every year, we party with friends and they come to our place. But due to Corona, everything has changed. I will celebrate Diwali with my dad. Guests will not be coming nor will we be going anywhere because our enjoyment for a day can cause a problem for many people. It’s best to spend time with family this year,” says Shashank, who was last seen as the lead in Roop-Mard Ka Naya Swaroop. 

Meanwhile, the actor, who rose to fame with the role of Jagya in the show Balika Vadhu, is also making sure to follow all precautions to make sure he or his family doesn’t contract Covid-19. “I think it is very important for everyone to understand that you have to take precautions for yourself and your family. Even if your old parents, like my dad, are not stepping out, but you are, you can get infected, and then, they might too. I am making sure to wear my mask everywhere I go. I don’t touch my face when the mask is on. I also make sure to remove my shoes outside my house and rush for a shower once I am back. I also make sure to disinfect all the packages and other stuff which come to my house,” says Shashank, who has been seen in the show Jaana Na Dil Se Door.
