Saiee Manjrekar shared this video titled Vaastav 2 based on the present situation of COVID-19 pandemic urging people to stay home. The video features Saiee Manjrekar and her father Mahesh Manjrekar. This 5 minutes long video starts with a visual image of the earth revolving in a black background with a voice that says, "Today the world is going under an extremely difficult phase.” The video then stars Saiee who is seen grieving in front of her father’s picture with two of her sisters sitting on a couch.

The shot then goes to the past, where Mahesh Manjrekar is seen drinking on the couch while his daughters play around.
