This quarantine has brought about a lot of change not just to the environment but also to the attitude and lives of people. One such example is actress Janhvi Kapoor who went on to pen down a very emotional message on her social media handles expressing that she actually feels liberated and also that she misses her mother and late actress Sridevi. Here is what she wrote:

Taking to her Instagram, Janhvi acknowledged a lot many things that we most of the times tend to take for granted. She wrote: " I have learnt the value of the food that I eat. It is a blessing to have things in excess and abundance the way that I do. But not knowing if our house ration will last long enough till the lockdown ends, knowing someone is risking their health every time they go to buy groceries - makes me worry in a way I have never had before. Sill I have it better than most in these conditions, and I have had it better than most do in life. I have learnt I have been selfish and irresponsible."

“I learned that my father misses me. Before lockdown, whenever he was home; he would wail for me and Khushi to come back from work or from meetings or from our friends houses to spend time with us. I would never see him wait. But when I wake up now and go across the hall and see him alone on the sofa smiling because he has us to himself the whole day, I can picture him sitting in the same place waiting for us to come home.

The Dhadak actress expressed that she has now realised that she has "relied on too many people for too many things" be it health, entertainment or vanity.

Talking about how the lockdown, she wrote, "I've learnt that I feel my most liberated in this lockdown. It's liberating to know you don't really need all the things you thought you did. To be free from all the plans and anxieties, all the things I thought I needed to do and say and hear to feel good about myself (sic)."

About her love for cinema, Janhvi wrote, "I've learnt that I love movies. More than I love anything. I love watching them, and thinking about them and dreaming about them (sic)."
