Bollywood veteran Neena Gupta has kept her fans and followers entertained with delightful videos from her life under lockdown amid the mountains of Uttarakhand. The Badhai Ho actor is stationed at a hill station called Mukteshwar in Uttarakhand with her husband Vivek Mehra and far away from the cities which have become the hotspots of the Coronavirus pandemic. Life in the hills is extremely local and rudimentary and the actor has been making the most of it.

In an interesting new video shared by Neena Gupta on Thursday, she spoke about the hack that she had to use to dye her hair. With salons and other services closed due to the precautionary restrictions imposed due to coronavirus, the actor revealed that she had to manage the entire process of colouring her hair with a paintbrush.

In the two-minute video that Neena Gupta had shared previously on her Instagram, she started by saying that she has been using shampoo and handwash quite carefully, by adding water into it, so that it could last longer.

The actress added, even if she is out of the items she will use local products without any hesitation. Neena Gupta suggests people should not be stuck on what products they want, but instead use what is available.
