Mumbai: We are living in unprecedented times. The entire world is focusing on the coronavirus pandemic. Legions have contracted the illness and many have died from it. The virus surprised every sector of society and caught many people unaware and prepared. Health officials are working furiously to address and contain it.
Over a billion Muslims spread worldwide will soon be marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan on 25 May, where worshippers fast from sunrise to sunset and express gratitude, seek forgiveness and help the needy, with EID celebrations.
Speaking to Hello Mumbai News reporter Ayushi Kedia. she said, like many people I have been personally impacted by Covid-19, and profound grief with the situation of the migrant labourers and for their families who are losing their loved ones under trains and trucks and people are walking 1000 km without food and water on the way to their villages.
So for her Eid celebration, will be on a low key. She feels depressed seeing the suffering of people across the World. Further she said, on Eid, they recite lot of namaaz and wear new clothes, meet and greet happens, but this time around, she is celebrating Eid with her elder sister on a low key. She makes a request to people to prevent gathering of crowd.
Also, she has shared an awareness video on Facebook which tells all about the major precautions we must take to safe-guard ourselves from Covid-19 . She further cautions to be sensible during this pandemic instead of attacking doctors and police people who are working tirelessly and selflessly from dawn to dusk since last 60 days. She is offering various means of donations to poor people, foundations during lockdown. But in general, she is a person who always keeps donating something or the other to poor and shows her support to any people with lots of love and lots of blessings.
She quoted” Khana Aisi Cheez hai jiske mil Jaane se Saari Duniya sawarg lagti hai”.
Life is unpredictable certain. We need to learn to survive with every phase of life. It will be a day of celebration in a much more low-key and a time to process and reflect on the magnitude of what our communities, in particular, are enduring, she concluded.
She further urges government to care for the Indian Film Industry people too, like helpers, makeup artist, etc as they are sitting in their homes jobless since last 2 months. Many of them are now facing problems in running their livelihood. Besides this, that there is the hike in prices of fruits, vegetables, pulses, etc.
She thanks Salman Khan personally; he has sent 3000 rupees to each helper of the film industry and along with that he is running his old age home also.
She highlighted, life will see a change after the lift of lockdown.
It’s now proved that human beings have no will to turn the leaves im total disregard to wealth or religion till such time God doesn’t give strength to move ahead.
The best part of lockdown she has experienced is, Nature is Recycling, all around, birds chirping and she can now feel the calmness, beauty of Mumbai which she has experienced in her childhood. But post lockdown people will be afraid to go in-crowd, and a behavior of untouchability may come into human behaviors which may affect various relations.
