Supriya Pilgaonkar: Shooting in Covid times difficult, I have left everything on God now

Actor Supriya Pilgaonkar was, for a long time, hesitant to set foot on a set amid the ongoing pandemic. Having overcome her fear now, the actor is working actively, and says, “Ab main deeth banngai hun.”I was very hesitant to go to shoots since the start of the pandemic. Even when the first lockdown opened, in the month of June or something, I was supposed to resume work, but I was worried for my family, and uss time vaccine bh inahi the,” Pilgaonkar tells us, adding, “I opted out of a show and didn’t take any project till January.”

Pilgaonkar, 53, gradually resumed work soon after, but her fear came true when she contracted Covid-19 on a set.

“When I started shooting, I got some confidence, but I got the virus. I think corona ne humme train kiyahai. After recovering from the virus, and getting the treatment, mein deeth banngai. Aur hum kitne din bethsaktehainghar par,” says the actor.

Contracting Covid-19 despite adhering to all safety measures, she says, made her realise that “sab ram bharose hi cha lraha hai”.

“Matlabkitnabhikuchkarlo, kitnabhisanitisekar lo, kitnebhi mask dal lo, jobhikarlo, uskebaadbhihotahaitohkyabolsaktehain. Hum pura care le saktehainauraagekyahotahaikuchkehnahisakte. I have left it (on god) now. Mein darrkegharpenahibethsakti,” she says.

The actor, however, points out, “Shooting kamahulbahut difficult hota hai because many agencies and people are involved in it. We have tried shooting in a bubble as well, but end meinbaharke log aa jaate hai, so a bubble is not possible.”
