In a candid conversation, we talk to him about how the virus outbreak has impacted his daily routine, how he manages to stay calm despite all the agonizing updates, the accelerating menace of fake news, and lots more!
How has your typical routine changed ever since the virus outbreak? What are some major challenges that you tend to face these days?
Things have changed in the sense that we all are now working in a very different environment altogether. We are working from home, using Zoom, all our guests are connected through Skype, and an internet connection can go away anytime - which is a major challenge that we tend to face these days. There has also been a lifestyle change in the sense that whenever I go to the studio, I have to wear a mask and take all precautionary measures.
