She further added, “The decision that Rithvik has taken is because of the pandemic and we should respect his decision and accept the situation while showing positivity towards the show”.

Speaking about Ritvik’s take on not shooting in pandemic, she said, “To each his own, I feel. Rather than this being his decision, the production had to take this step sooner or later because he wasn’t willing to shoot in this situation and the production also has to meet certain requirement. I believe, Ritvik and the production house, both are right at their places.
