That means masking/ no large groups on the beach and in parks and also in markets. Can we do it ?,” Razdan tweeted in happiness. 

Earlier, the senior actress who was quite worried about the dire condition of the country amid the pandemic had poured in her heart for all those who lost their loved ones in the battle to fight the virus. The actress spoke about the ‘extreme pressure’ that the doctors and frontline warriors are going through currently because of the shortage of medical aid including Remdesivir, beds, oxygen cylinders, and more that has created a panic in the country. “Everything seems to have collapsed. Even the air we need to breathe .. this time is just too terrible for words. My heart goes out to people who are losing loved ones and to all the medics who are undergoing such extreme stress as the oxygen runs out. God help us all (sic),” she had tweeted.
