Exclusive: The lockdown phase made me realise how much mom needs me at home: Shri Mahadev

Shri Mahadev has been making all the right noises ever since he stepped into the industry. In an exclusive chat with ETimestv, the actor talks about his #lockdowndiares

"Initially, it was very traumatic for me as I did not know what to do. But then, I realised there are a lot many things to do at home. I feel it's a lifetime opportunity for mankind to spend time with their family members," he shares.

"I don't think so I will be getting a chance like this to spend time with my mother. The lockdown made me realise how much mom needed my presence at home. I am spending time with her to the fullest. We even do yoga together."

"I always believed that giving time to oneself is being productive but this lockdown has thought me that being there for others is also productive. It is in our hands to utilise it in a positive manner, " averred the actor.

"The other day when I was talking a walk in the park, a kid approached me and recognised me as an actor. I felt overwhelmed. At the same time, I learned he belonged to a daily wager family. I was disturbed upon meeting his parents as I learned about their situation. I felt I should do my bit to them and talked to them."

"The little boy's innocence was struck in my mind. I wanted to do something for them. So, the next morning, I surprised them with homemade food. I personally visited the place they lived and served breakfast."

"I feel it's the perfect time to explore our interests. I try my hands-on cooking. I even prepared a brownie, which turned very good. Apart from this, I play the guitar," he signs out.
