According to Shweta Tiwari, financial security is needed to survive and fight the Coronavirus pandemic. The actor feels one has to step out for work while taking all precautions.

Explaining further, she adds, “Protocols must be followed, but one has to work. If you fall ill and need medical care, you need money. People are not working, projects are stuck but money is necessary to pay off EMIs and bills. I can’t wait for the pandemic to end. No one knows if it is a pandemic or an endemic,” she says adding that we should be careful and prepared for the third wave.

Tiwari admits she needed money to survive and take care of her family which is why she chose to shoot for a reality show abroad. She feels lucky to have got an opportunity and had made arrangements for her family to be taken care of. “Since last year, everyone wants to get back to work but many don’t have that option. So many people lost their jobs, but there are businesses that are making millions and taking advantage of the situation. The pandemic has taught us the value of health, family, and nature,” the Mere Dad Ki Dulhan actor concludes.
