Apart from this, the actress also spoke about the wastage of food on the sets of the film and how the industry is ensuring that incidents like these should be avoided. Sharing her thoughts on the same and hailing the stars for taking active participation, the actress said, “Another thing that I talk to the team with is about wastage of food and the industry is doing whatever it can to ensure this doesn’t happen on sets. Like, for example, on Durgamati, because that was the last project that I shot for before the pandemic, all the excess food was distributed in a very hygienic way to people who are less fortunate. There were extra meals cooked onset that we could distribute to people. It was a complete pet bottle-free set. So, these are the productive changes that we have to bring about.”
