Vijay Deverakonda: “We have to smile through this”

Telugu Superstar  Vijay  Deverakonda In  A  Lighthearted Chat With Subhash  K Jha On The Coronavirus and the  Lockdown

 As we  complete almost four weeks  of  lockdown what are  your thoughts?

It’s making me think I should change my profession.

Why, and do what???!!!

Either to become a cook or get into the food business, or get into army or a gun shooting business or into the car or bike racing scene.

Okay  then. So how have you been spending your time during the  lockdown?

I’ve caught up on my pending sleep for the last two  years.. shut off my brain for the first time in ten years .But it has turned back on since the last few days.

So what is your brain telling  you to do  now?

I am  doing  some cooking, I’m  constantly hungry. I  workout so I can eat. I am catching up on some OTT shows.

Your thoughts  for your  fans  during these trying times?

It’s a strange time. I wish I could be there for each one of them.. make sure all have the basic necessities.

What  do you feel  about the pandemic?

Many generations have braved and fought many things.Some saw and survived the British rule, others dealt with the Partition, they dealt with poverty, epidemics and wars.Our generation’s battle is this, and we have to protect ourselves and our families by not letting the virus get to us, and the way to do it is to stay home.And soon, this too shall pass.

Anything else?

Anything else I say will become serious.I don’t want to burden our people who already are dealing with so much.So consciously trying to tell you the lighter side of my lockdown.We are bombarded everywhere by the troubles accompanying  the lockdown.I just want them to smile. And know that I am also locked down with them.We have to smile through this.
