Actor  Deepak Dobriyal  Tells  Subhash K Jha How & Where He’s Coping  With The Corona Lockdown

Deepak Dobriyal, How is the lockdown treating you?

 I am close to the Himalayas  in  Uttarakhand. Log keh rahe hain hame bhi aisa lockdown chahiye, itna freedom aur beauty wala. Mere saare dost(All my friends are saying they want  a lockdown like mine with so much  freedom and  beauty).

Mere saath  mere  naye dost mere kutte Jhumroo  hain.Mein  unhe  25 din se janta hoon.(My new friend my  dog Jhumroo is with me). Main theek hun, par apne parivaar se door hun, par kuch videos me dekh kar dukh hota hai ki kuch aam janta bhi  dusri gareeb janta ko masr rahi hai. (I am okay but  away from my family and unhappy to see  videos where the public is misbehaving with  the poor).

We  need to be  more compassionate, perhaps?

Jee haan. Police to pitayi kar hi rahi hai kuch ziddi logon ki par aam janta kisi dusre janta ke saath durvyavhaar na kare.(The  police is beating up the stubborn public  but civilians shouldn’t  misbehave with  other  civilians).

Your advice to your fans  and followers?
Sanyam se rahen aur sabko samjhen, hum choohe billi nahi hain jo bhagdad machayen.(stay calm and  show  empathy don’t scamper and  bully like cats and mice). Hamare paas America China Japan aur Germany jitne saadhan nahi hain.(We are not equipped to fight  the virus  like America, China,  Japan and  Germany). (We  need  to  use our  intelligence and compassion). Paropkaar isliye ki aapse juda koi bhi vyakti problem me na aaye. (Ensure that strangers do not suffer  any inconvenience  because  of you). Kyonki hum sab ek dusre se jude hue hain kisi na kisi tarah se,sabka dhyan rakhen.(We are all bonded in this). Sab se jude rahen. Lekin zehan se. (Stay connected but smartly). Social distancing ke saath. Panic na failayen. (don’t spread panic).Mushkil daur mein jeet sanyam rakhne walon ki hi hoti hai.(Only the  patient win in trying times).
