Stationed in London since the month of April, Aftab Shivdasani is set to step out of his home for the first time since lockdown restrictions eased. The actor, who is set to attend the ICC World Test Championship Final match in Southampton, backing team India in the war against New Zealand, says, “What better way to support my country than do so via the sport we all love. We are taking precautions. We don’t plan to meet the cricketers as the players and support staff are in a bio bubble. I also have a family and a 10-month-old daughter, Nevaeh, so I wouldn’t want to take any risks.”

We shot a scene on a moving plane, something I’ve never done. Unfortunately, we had to adjourn the shoot due to the second wave, but we resume in July, in accordance with the stipulated SOPs.”

My work is unpredictable; opportunities come my way at any time, so, every day spent with them is something I cherish. On our anniversary, Nin and I had a romantic picnic in a nature reserve, and enjoyed being amid nature.”
