Asha Negi on mental health of actors amid lockdown

It has been close to three months since actors have been quarantining inside their homes due to the Coronavirus lockdown, just like the rest of us. But as the government has now lifted some restrictions, producers are gearing up to begin production soon.

While some actors are heaving a huge sigh of relief after the government allowed resumption of shooting, others are a tad bit apprehensive about getting back on the sets knowing it well that the situation is far from normal.


Talking about the same, popular television actress Asha Negi says that she feels there is still a sense of fear among actors. She adds that she is also concerned about the mental health and well-being of people working in the industry.

“These are very uncertain times. When it comes to the atmosphere around, I am concerned about the well-being and mental health of people in our industry. Everyone is at home and wondering what will happen next. So many people around me are losing their sh*t. They just want this to end and get out to normal life,” she says.

When asked about how is she dealing with the lockdown, she says that the launch of her ALTBalaji web-show Baarish 2 kept her busy. It helped her manage this whole lockdown phase.

Apart from work, Asha Negi has also been in news off late for her alleged break-up with long-time boyfriend Rithvik Dhanjani. The two actors have never spoken about their split openly, though.

Highlights

  • Hunnam approached him while pitching the project and asked for his blessing.
  • The new FX limited series brings several Sons of Anarchy stars together as themselves.

For Sons of Anarchy fans, Charlie Hunnam bringing much of the old gang back together for Legends naturally raises one question: where is Kurt Sutter?

Sutter created the original FX biker drama, served as its showrunner and executive producer, and helped build the world that turned Jax Teller and the Sons into television icons. Yet he has no creative role in Legends. According to Sutter, however, that is not the result of a falling-out with Hunnam or FX. It is because the new series belongs to a different idea entirely.
