What Breaks Us, Somewhere Also Unites Us: Kriti Sanon On India's COVID-19 Crisis

Kriti Sanon on COVID crisis: As India continues to grapple with actor Kriti Sanon took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the ongoing pandemic and how this ordeal was in fact uniting everyone. Sanon had tested positive for the disease in December last year.

In the caption of her post, Sanon wrote that she tried to see a silver lining in everything, "like a ray of light in the dark, and good it the bad." In the video that she posted, the actor talked about how strangers are helping each other and trying to end each other's suffering irrespective of all the social divisions.

"What breaks us, somewhere also unites us. I mean today when I look around, it doesn't matter what your cast is, what your religion is, what your profession is, whether you're rich or poor, which state are you from, nothing matters," said the Bareilly Ki Barfi actor. She further added that at the end of it, we all are just human beings, who can feel and recognise each other's pain. "We feel terrible when someone is in need and we're trying our best to spread the word, to get that person help. We're total strangers to each other, (yet) we're donating, we're trying to figure a way to end each other's suffering and pain," she said.

Sanon's co-star Varun Dhawan who is working with her in the upcoming movie Bhediya, reposted her video on his story calling it a "good thought".

Kriti Sanon will next be seen in Dinesh Vijan's film Mimi, which tells the story of a surrogate mother. She willstar alongside Saie Tamhankar and Pankaj Tripathi in the film. She will also be seen in Ganapath opposite Tiger Shroff and Bachchan Pandey alongside Akshay Kumar and Jacqueline Fernandez.

In December last year, the actor had tested positive for COVID-19 after returning for a shoot in Chandigarh for a film co-starring Rajkummar Rao. On December 9, 2020, Sanon confirmed on social media that she had indeed tested positive for the coronavirus. The actor added that she was quarantining at home and would be returning to work soon.

"There’s absolutely nothing to worry as I’m feeling fine and have quarantined myself as per BMC and my doctor’s advice. So I’m gonna ride this tide, rest it out and resume work soon," Sanon wrote in her post.

On December 19, Sanon took to social media to share that she had tested negative for COVID-19. She went on to thank her fans for their "warm wishes and love". Read more on that here.
