Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! actress Shubhangi Atre has installed sanitizers' dispensers at her house. So that her daughter Ashi does not forget to wash her hands.
"When Ashi, my daughter was at a very young age, I inculcated a habit within her of washing hands before every meal. I stress upon this even more now especially before she eats anything during the day. I have installed small sanitizer dispensers across our house so that both my daughter and husband can keep sanitizing their hands regularly. Our clothes are also washed separately with a sanitizing liquid unlike before," she shared.
According to Shubhangi, it is "important to make kids understand the vitality of the situation and how imperative it is to take care of one's health rather than just imposing the restrictions on them".

"I never imagined that my son would come to me and say the coronavirus is a germ that, if it sits in an airplane, people can't get out of the plane. It made me realise how children are also worried about the situation. Then I made him sit next to me and explained to him in the best way I could. The situation is highly disturbing...I hope everything becomes normal soon," Sameera, who welcomed her daughter Nyra last year, said.
