MUMBAI: Sayantani Ghosh is currently a part of Tera Yaar Hoon Main on SAB TV.
Recently, a lot of actors are testing positive of covid-19 among the general people. However, for Sayantani, it has been a blessing in disguise as she has tested negative. Recently, her co-actor Sudeep Sahir and his wife tested positive. Can we call Sayantani the iron lady on the set of her show?
We got in touch with the actress to know her opinion on the same.
Sayantani shared, “I just want to tell you that the second wave is really bad as we all are seeing it. In the show, the cycle began when one of our associate directors, and then every week there is news of someone getting infected. You know the actors are so vulnerable and prone to it as the nature of the job. though I would like to say that we are one of the sets where we follow a lot of protocols and every precaution is being followed. There is nobody without a mask, we maintain social distance whether it a channel, producer or the creative we are ensuring that when we write the scenes we write in such a way so that there aren't too many people gathered in the scenes, there is no physical proximity, there are sanitizers placed in every corner.
“We are constantly doing all the things which are needed to be done. And I want this to go out as a message and want people to not take it lightly. We frequently consume Kadhas. Regular testing has been happening which I don't know other sets do. Very honestly up until now there was no situation where I have to undergo a test though in December my father had got covid we never showed any symptoms and so never had to go through the test. But ever since the show began again on the sets the producers have been so responsible that we are having regular testing, despite doing all this the coronavirus is so tricky one cannot forget how it is happening here. It just makes me sit back and wonder how did it get.
It is scary I'm saying this as an example and I want you to have this point that responsible things are happening on our set from the spot dad to head honcho everyone is responsible on our show but the reality is that it is happening and unfortunately you must have seen Sudeep also put it up yesterday that he was covid positive. There are a few people who are showing symptoms so we got a fresh batch of testing done yesterday. I'm making it through it somehow. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad about it. I am happy because I'm safe but sad because people around me are facing it,” She added.
Sayantani further added, “The weather is so hot especially on the sets but still, the staff makeup dadas and the hair mandatorily wear the clinical aprons, shield, and mask on, and poor thing that is so hot. We could feel the difficulties that they go through but everyone is prioritizing safety which is so good about our set. But it is so unfortunate that for some or the other reason such things are happening. But I would like to believe I'm the iron lady. Even the artist who comes to work for a day or two are also going through the test.”
She parted saying that, “Apart from what's happening on our set the larger message which I want to give is that people have to take corona seriously.”
