Sunny Leone dons many roles. That of a Bollywood actress, a successful entrepreneur, a loving wife and a mommy of three munchkins. And she plays each role with equal dedication. Recently, Sunny opened up about working from home amid lockdown in Mumbai owing to the coronavirus pandemic. She said, 'I am not the only artiste doing that. Everyone is using this phase to learn their scripts, work on their characters and prepare for their roles. This time is being put to good use before we can get back to work, full steam.' The actress, who has several assignments in the pipeline, including the Malayalam film 'Shero', further talked about how she juggles between work and her kids' school while working from home. 'There are so many occasions when I am working on a script over a video call and my daughter is solving a puzzle in the same room with her teacher’s assistance. I want my children around me. I schedule my work as per their timings to ensure that I give them attention before I deep dive into work and my workout routine,' Sunny added. Shortly before the lockdown, around the beginning of the year, the actress had travelled South for a shoot, for which she was accompanied by her kids. Was she apprehensive about taking them on the set? She said, 'Sometimes, my children spend time in the vanity van, but I don’t take them on the set. We prepare a chart for them that lists what they have to complete in the day. This time around, when my kids travelled with me, we all stayed within our bio-bubble. There was no one going in and out of it. We were also tested periodically.' Sunny also added that she's very cautious and takes all measures to keep her family safe. Furthermore, she added, 'Today, I definitely think we should adopt a way to be clean and hygienic for good. But we have to work towards a tomorrow where it’s okay to fall, touch the ground, sit on the grass and live without constant fear and anxiety over who is around me and who has been here before me. Constantly being in protective mode as parents has increased our stress levels. We’re constantly thinking of where the kids are, what are they touching, are they wearing masks… I look forward to the time when we can get back to being around people and don’t have to isolate ourselves from our neighbours.'
