Shakti Kapoor Says He Won't Allow Shraddha Kapoor To Resume Work: Better To Wait Than Pay Hospital Bills

With the lockdown slowly phasing out in several parts of the country after government’s Unlock 1 already giving a green signal to resuming shoots the industry is gearing up to embrace the new normal and return on sets. Shakti Kapoor is still quite apprehensive about the whole situation and in a recent interview said he isn’t ready to get back to work just yet.

Speaking to ETimes the actor said, "I will not go out and work for now, nor will I allow my daughter Shraddha to resume work. I don't think the threat is gone. I feel the worst is yet to come. I won't let my children out for now."

The actor says he has been in touch with others from the industry and has also warned them and suggested that everyone should wait a little longer.

Realizing that it is important to resume work he added, “I know work is important but not at the cost of one's life. It will be very chaotic if people start shooting now. I tell industry people in our group that it is better to wait than pay hospital bills. It is still a very bad state of affairs outside."

Mumbai is the worst affected city in the country due to the covid-19 pandemic but is also one of the first few states to allow shoots to resume under specific guidelines.
