Speaking with Hindustan Times, Ritvik said, 'It isn’t easy for the ones working in pharmacies, grocery stores, the health care professionals and police officers. Some of them have been attacked and also subjected to corona-shaming.' Talking about Corona-shaming further and how people are being attacked, Asha Negi’s ex added, 'My friend (Meiyang Chang), who is Indian Chinese, was also corona-shamed when two passers-by called him coronavirus. That shows how shallow we still are as a society.'

He went on to talk about how the people testing positive for covid-19 also go through a lot of problems including societal pressure. He said, 'They are being put through this fight not just against the virus but corona-shaming as well, where people can’t be sensitive in times like these.'
