Sharma was recently named in Fortune India’s Top 50 Most Powerful Women 2020. Talking about her recent experience on the set during the COVID-19 pandemic she said, “I had to be sure that the sets are going to be a safe place to shoot because I would be shooting during the pandemic. Though I was looking forward to shooting again, I was also careful that all the precautions were being taken. I’m thankful to everyone for following all the necessary steps for me to shoot. The virus is here to stay and we have to embrace the new normal and deal with coronavirus with the strictest precautions, which is what I have done."
