Sharman likes to give people some sunshine

The lockdown has been hard on everyone, but Sharman Joshi isn’t complaining.

The actor, who is seen in ALTBalalji’s Baarish 2, opposite Asha Negi, Contributor Rajul Hegde, “The Web space has come as a great boon where one can consume content at their convenience, but cinema is incomparable.”

How has the lockdown been for you?

I know a lot of people have been saying it’s a tough time, but for me, it’s quality time with my wife, children, and in-laws who live close by.

It wasn’t difficult to keep my children busy as they had unlimited time on the IPad.

We have converted the dining table into a table tennis table.

Plus, we play a lot of board games like Ludo, Snakes, and Ladders and, of course, online games too.

Personally, the lockdown has been very good for me.

Do you miss anything amid the COVID-19 restrictions?

I like to keep life simple.

I want to stick to the kind of lifestyle where you are in bed early and wake up early.

Life in metropolitan cities is overbearing. With the amount of time we spend on commuting, I have been seriously considering having a second home away from Mumbai except during work.

Paradoxically, I miss just the opposite of what I said, the chaos of Mumbai city, the traffic, meeting friends, going to the pub, parks, restaurants... all of that has its own charm.

What shows or movies are you watching these days?

I have watched the English series Broadchurch and really liked it.
