Neil Nitin Mukesh On Coping  With The  Lockdown

Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh has been home with his    wife  and  little  daughter  for more than  two weeks now.

He says he is still in  a state  of disbelief  about the lockdown. “Never did we ever imagine a time like this would come. Lockdown and self-quarantine are  happening since over  two weeks now. I am taking each day as it comes.  Keeping myself busy  with writing , composing , sketching and teaching my daughter new words. My wife is managing the kitchen and the meals.”

Neil is  not  watching  too many films at home. “I am not really movie-binging but seeing some that I had to catch up on .”

On his must see list is his grandfather the illustrious singer Mukesh’s  stint as an actor. “Not too many  know that my  grandfather  played the hero in  Nirdosh, Anurag and Adab Arz in  the 1950s. This quarantine  period has  given me  a chance  to discover  my grandfather as an actor.”

At home Neil Nitin Mukesh  maintains  a  formal work schedule for  the quarantine period. “We have routined ourselves.I keep  work hours for me from home  and then workout, which includes cleaning of the house .Meal times are in place.”
Neil’s advice  to fans? “Only advice would be stay home stay safe , keep yourself creatively occupied . Play some memory games board games puzzles , read a lot .And most importantly sit and retrospect. In the madness to keep up with the fast-paced madness of  day-to-day living let’s not forget our basic needs values and necessity. The key to good  living are love and respect and simplicity .Let’s  rediscover these qualities  during these  troubled  times.”

Neil is not restless  after  more than two weeks  at home. “I am just keeping myself  so occupied with home errands that by the end of day I am too   tired to think  about getting  restless.”
