We’ve been spotting you at dubbing studios. What kind of safety measures are being followed?
I’ve been to the studio only about five-six times for dubbing for some film or web series. But it was important to follow the protocol, wear a mask, sanitise and cover yourself. You need to monitor yourself and others, and the Aarogya Setu app helped in that sense. The studios are also taking precautions. There are some that have complete protection shield inside the studio. It’s a German technology. They were extra cautious and it was all for everyone’s benefit. I was taking proper precautions and thankfully nothing happened. God has been kind.
