Here’s how Disha Patani is dealing with lockdown

Today is the 41st day of lockdown in India, and people are waiting for the ongoing ordeal to end with bated breath. Just like the rest of us, celebrities are also holed up inside their homes, devoting time to variety of things to keep themselves entertained and busy.

To keep herself occupied, Bollywood actress Disha Patani is in constant touch with her fans though social media. The actress has been treating her fans with glimpses from her life in lockdown. From posting videos of her pets to sharing nostalgic memories, she has been doing lots of things to keep herself cheerful, motivated and busy.


Talking to a publication, Patani shares, “I have had a lot of free time to myself, something that rarely happens because of shooting schedules and travelling around. I am spending most of the time pampering my pets.”

No conversation about the actress is complete without talking about her love for fitness. “I am also doing my workouts at home along with basic dance routines to keep me occupied,” she adds.

Last seen in Malang (2020), which went on to become a big hit at the box-office, Disha Patani presently has some exciting projects on her platter. However, since no shooting activity is allowed due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing lockdown, her upcoming projects are bound to face some delay in production and release.

“My upcoming film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai with Salman Khan got pushed, and so did the commencement of Ek Villain 2. I am hoping for everything to start soon. It is difficult to stay at home, but it is necessary for all of us, so that we can fight the pandemic,” she says in conclusion.

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
