How do you plan to ring in New Year's?
At first, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. The new year has always been celebrated with great joy all over the world. Outdoor midnight parties are the first thing that comes to our mind when we think of the 31st night. But as we all know that we are going through this tough phase, we must realize that the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic is still ongoing. The pandemic has already claimed numerous lives and we can't afford to suffer more. Keeping this in mind, I will be staying at home and will plan a simple new year celebration with family as suggested by the Maharashtra government. So this year no parties, no going out and meeting people.

Your wish list and hopes for the New Year?
I wish that things get back to normal as soon as possible, suffering ends, work starts and I hope the world recovers soon.

The best thing that happened to you in 2021?
The best thing that happened to me in 2021 is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Shooting with Covid guidelines and protocols was a must and even after a lot of difficulties, we were able to complete the shoot of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and we also followed all Covid protocols and guidelines issued by the government. I also got some quality time to spend with my family and wrote a couple of film scripts. To sum up, the year 2021 ended with a lot of good work and I hope 2022 brings more happiness and positivity.
