A while back, Urvashi Dholakia had revealed that she slipped under depression after sending her sons, Sagar and Kshitij, off to boarding school. She now says that she’s happy to be spending ample time with them during the Coronavirus lockdown. The trio had taken to TikTok to share videos. “It’s one of the ways that I bond with my sons. Everyone in the house enjoys watching our madness. It’s a good stress buster,” she says.

The video streaming platform recently faced a lot of flak for churning out videos that promote rape, acid attack and violence. The actor believes that there are some people with a warped mindset and blaming the platform isn’t a solution. She elaborates, “Any person misusing a platform should be punished. There’s no point blaming a platform because they come with a set of community guidelines and they shouldn’t be misused. However, some people choose to use it negatively.” Talking about how she chooses to use the platform for plain fun, she says, “I don’t relate to their mindset. I use it to create fun videos because that’s what people need now.”

Recently, broadcasters and television producers engaged in a virtual meeting with CM Uddhav Thackeray to resume shoots in a limited scale. Dholakia feels that it’s “a good call” since many actors are facing financial difficulties. She says, “Artistes are at home without work, struggling to makes ends meet. We’ve to feed our families.
