Kriti Sanon loses track of day and date amid lockdown

It has been more than two months since India went into complete lockdown in an attempt to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus outbreak. Everybody’s life has come to a standstill due to the ongoing pandemic and actress Kriti Sanon is no different.

“There has not been anything new as such but what option do we have? It feels like time is just passing by. At times, I do not even realise which day or date it is,” says the actress, who is quarantining with her entire family at her Mumbai apartment.


Before lockdown came into effect towards the end of March, Sanon was shooting for her forthcoming film Mimi, a Hindi remake of the National Award-winning Marathi movie Mala Aai Vhhaychy! (2011). The actress says that she is terribly missing being on the sets and following her daily routine.

“For the first month or so, I was really chilling. But honestly, I now miss being on the sets and going through my normal, daily routine,” she shares.

Though Sanon misses going to work and following her daily routine, she does feel that the ongoing lockdown has healed nature to a great extent. “Surely, lockdown brought along tonnes of problems and difficulties for many people. But in hindsight, I feel even a busy city like Mumbai has been much calmer. You could see a clearer sky, and even hear birds chirping. That way, it has been great,” she concludes.

Sanon’s next Mimi features her in the lead role of a surrogate mother. Well-known actor Pankaj Tripathi also plays an important role in the movie. Mimi reunites both the actors with Laxman Utekar, the director of their superhit film Luka Chuppi (2019).

John Lewis Christmas advert 2025 swaps penguins for parenthood in its most human story yet

Highlights:

  • John Lewis reveals its 2025 Christmas campaign Where Love Lives
  • Story centres on a father and son reconnecting through music and memory
  • Features Alison Limerick’s 1990s hit Where Love Lives and a new version by Labrinth
  • Limited-edition vinyl (£14.99 / ₹1,580) to raise funds for the “Building Happier Futures” charity

The John Lewis Christmas advert has dropped, and with it, the unofficial start of Christmas in the UK. The 2025 John Lewis film Where Love Lives drops the fairytale stuff. No mascots this time. Just a dad and his teenage son, a bit of distance between them.

It’s all shot inside an ordinary home, wrapping paper scattered across the floor. The son’s got his headphones on, half present. The father’s picking up after the morning chaos, looking tired. He spots a small box still under the tree, a vinyl record of Where Love Lives, Alison Limerick’s 90s club track.
