Actor Kangana Ranaut has called the COVID-19 pandemic a “potential bio war.” Currently stationed at her Manali residence as the country observes national lockdown, Kangana said, “This could be a potential bio war where countries are trying to get down each other's economies. We have to reflect as where we have landed as people, as a nation and why are we letting our greed, our senses guide us and not our consciousness.”
She added, “We all are doing our bit and also donating for this. Our huge concern for economy has landed us all in the situation where we are with no concern for human well being. If this lockdown goes on for 21 days we will be two years behind economically, but if it goes beyond 21 days it is going to be a disastrous situation for our nation because we are a developing one.”
She also said people need to understand the seriousness of the situation. “Right now we only exist as people here. I’ve stopped to see myself as an actor and like I said we should be ready for almost anything, we should be prepared to rise above individual concerns. So my films are also like everything else it’s just stuck and I don’t know where we will land. It depends on when we come out of it. That is the reason I want more people to understand the seriousness of the situation. Right now individual gain or loss is not my concern,” she said.
