The current lockdown has forced everyone to celebrate their birthdays and other special days at home. Model turned actor Manushi Chhillar has also shared her experience of living through a birthday amid quarantine. Chhillar turned 23 on Thursday and says that it is a very quiet birthday for her.
She said, "It is a reflective birthday for me. All that I thought I knew about the world has changed and I have had time to think about this a lot and discuss it with my family and friends. So, it's a very quiet birthday for me as celebrations is the last thing on my mind right now given the pain, loss and suffering I have been witnessing."
Chhillar is soon going to make her Bollywood debut opposite Akshay Kumar in the historical epic biography film of Prithviraj.
The actress also said that she is thankful for her current life. She said, "I have had a blessed life and I thank the universe for everything. I have nothing but gratitude for the exposures that I have had so far and I'm proud that I have been able to express myself completely along the way. My journey has just begun and I'm extremely excited to see how my life and career shapes up."
"I think all the thinkers and visionaries of Bollywood will huddle in making plans to script the industry's comeback, as and when it's feasible. We live in an intimate country, a country that likes to celebrate with everyone, so we will all go back to watching movies in theatres in due course of time," she added.
Chhillar concluded saying that we must all be patient. She said, "We will go back to living our lives for sure but I hope we will all value our freedom, our country, our nature that much more. As of now, we will just need to wait and hope for things to first become better for all the countrymen, economy to bounce back, everyone being safe, healthy and back to working."
