Many fans are also pointing out how seeing the celebs out and about will wrongly influence people, and prevent them from taking the situation seriously. But the truth is out there. The situation is quite grim at the moment. For the first time, India crossed the 1-lakh mark in daily COVID-19 cases on Sunday. We can understand the need for Bollywood and TV celebs to be out there – for work, or sometimes just for photo ops so that they are seen, written and read about. But the time demands that everyone behaves responsibly and steps out only when utmost important. Also Read - Alia Bhatt's quarantine selfie and caption is what we all need amid COVID-19 second wave

It seems that is a difficult thing to do, when it comes to shooting for films and TV shows as there are many people involved in the process and the entire cast and crew can’t be on the sets 24x7. Perhaps, the film and TV industry needs to either put such a plan in place or stop shoot for a while till the cases subside. And definitely, not step put just for the heck of it, because corona doesn’t discriminate and how big or popular a star are you will not matter.
