The actress Adhora Khan is quite elusive. She is a familiar face of Dhallywood. Due to the coronavirus, like everyone else, all her movie work has stopped. She is spending her days 

voluntarily under house arrest. A Mizan writes about her after talking about current issues.

How are you spending your time?

I am reading a lot of books and watching movies. I used to be very busy at work. Now there is no work so I am reading books regularly at home. I am also watching movies, watching web series. 

I didn’t have time to do these things before. Now I am making up for the time by doing all this. I am doing yoga regularly and doing exercise. This is how my time is being spent.

How long have you been under home quarantine?

I haven't been out for a long time. I went out for a couple of days in the middle and had helped some people by providing food. I could have done these things with the help of friends or volunteers but I didn't. 

I myself have provided food assistance to two hundred people. I have done these things out of my own sense of responsibility. I went out once in March and once in April. I went out of the house only twice in two months.

How are you missing your work?

I miss work very much because I had to start two new movies in March and April but both have stopped their work due to this epidemic. Besides, I started working on a movie called 'Unmad' last year. The shooting of that movie was supposed to take place at the end of March. All in all, all the work got stuck. That's why I'm missing my work very much. I don't feel good anymore.

Do you have contact with people you are close to in the media?

I more or less have contact with everyone I am close to in the media. However, there is more communication on social media. Personally no one is communicating with anyone in that way because all the people around me are with me on social media. So I can easily get everyone there.

Are you getting frustrated from staying home?

I'm a little scared mentally. I am trying to encoruage myself every day. I am trying to encourage everyone in the family. Even then, everyone is becoming depressed and frustrated day by day because we are not familiar with such a situation. 

So our present life seems to be a completely different. Before, if it was too much, I would have stayed at home for a few days. And now a lot of people are dying every day now. That was not supposed to happen. It looks very bad. Still trying to stay as good as possible and trying to stay mentally tough.

What do you want to do first at the end of the coronavirus period?

I want to do a lot of work when the coronavirus period is over. Now it seems that a lot of work is pending. However, I will first go to our village home at the end of the coronavirus period to visit my father's grave. Then I want to finish my pending work.
