"It was an incredibly fun experience being part of 'Lockdown Love'. The thrill of it is also that we get to perform the play entirely live which can be watched online no matter where you are.

"Given the uncertainty of our current times during this pandemic, we don't know when we will end up resuming our shoots next. So it's wonderful to be a part of this process and collaborate with different actors, filmmakers and artists to find creative ways to make the most of this time we have at hand," Shriya said in a statement.
