I fear post lockdown, persons are likely to go crazy

"The clear blue sky and rivers, chirping of birds, animals roaming freely outside and dolphins returning to the beach, it's a sight to behold amid the lockdown," says actor Bhumi Pednekar, who feels that although Covid-19 pandemic has brought the world to the standstill, the best thing which has happened is that "the planet earth seems to be healing and nature is reclaiming its glory. What better way than World Earth Day to cherish and embrace it?"

A climate-conscious person, the 30-year-old, who's busy learning the science of hydroponics farming these days, confesses that she gets anxiety because of climate change. 

And her biggest concern is, she says, is that "post lockdown, persons are likely to go crazy by heading back to the same rut to catch up all of the lost days, to hide the production requirements and stabilize the economy. It'll be like taking revenge from the climate, harming the surroundings at double the speed and pushing our world to the brink again. I hope this doesn't happen and we all learn a lesson out of this and prep for just about any such pandemics."

What's more worrisome is that thousands of people, especially the daily wagers, have lost their jobs and so are more vulnerable in this situation. "We have no idea how things will be in the future.

I know that whenever the lockdown will be removed, I'm among those few lucky ones who is going to have the opportunity to still lead a standard life nevertheless they wouldn't which is scary," says Pednekar, who finished shooting for 'Durgavati' prior to the lockdown but her other projects- 'Badhaai Ho' sequel and 'Takht' have already been put on hold.
