Television actor Ratan Raajputh has been under self-isolation in a remote village in Bihar where she is reportedly stuck since the announcement of the lockdown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 24. In an interaction with a news daily, Ratan has revealed her experience while under self-isolation in a village since the lockdown and shared that she was in the village in Bihar for a project along with three others and had no idea about the situation until the lockdown was announced.
Ratan also revealed that she has been staying in a small place given to her by a local man and leading a very basic life under lockdown. She has a couple of utensils and a stove to use. Apart from that, she added, the water supply is limited and all the household chores have to be done in that short duration.
