Arslan Goni: Lockdown is surely not the solution

Arslan Goni, who made his acting debut with Jia aur Jia, has strong views on the current scenario of the pandemic. He says, ”Covid came as a hurricane and made our life topsy turvy. We adjusted to the new normal and fought the battle but now we have Omicron and other variants. We have no choice but to live with it while following the protocols and guidelines.”

The Mai Hero Boll Raha Hu actor further adds, ”I am following all protocols and not moving out of the house unless it’s for work or something very important. We shouldn’t panic at all. Lockdown is surely not the solution as the economy has already been affected severely and survival is an issue for many.”

On being asked about the film industry being affected, he says, ”Yes, the entertainment industry is affected. Very few films are being made and theatres have mostly remained closed in the last two years. There is a scare amongst the viewers too. But I am hopeful that the industry will recover soon.”

“The industry provides ample opportunities to many who are the sole earners, and if a lockdown is imposed again their survival will get affected. So as the saying goes, the show must go on, we should follow all the precautionary measures and continue working,” Arslan ends.
