Now that the world is under lockdown, we are trying to figure out new ways to keep ourselves engaged and entertained. Like the rest of us, celebrities are not immune to Coronavirus, so they are also staying at home practising self-isolation.
Under such critical circumstances it is important for every one of us to focus on our mental and physical health as well. Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone has expressed how vital it is to follow a routine during the coronavirus lockdown to avoid anxiety.
“The most basic thing is (to) follow a routine. A lot of anxiety develops due to uncertainty; not knowing what is to come in the future. It is important to focus on the now, and one way to achieve that is by setting 11, daily, and weekly targets. Let’s not avoid formulating a routine just because there is a curfew. Some people can cope with it. But, for most people, getting into a routine, like going to bed and waking up at a defined time, and setting up a dedicated work space and holding virtual (meetings), is important. Set a system and (become) disciplined,” says the actress.
Padukone urges her fans to remain active during this quarantine period. “When I was young, and an athlete, I understood that I felt good (when I trained). I always felt that correlation. Being physically active has a big role to play in my emotional well-being,” she says in conclusion.
On the work front, Deepika Padukone is looking forward to shooting for Dharma Productions’ next production venture. To be directed by Shakun Batra, the untitled film also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday in lead roles.
