The actor further went on to ask what the hundreds of actors like him would do. The actors are fond of working and love their work, so how the government can stop them from doing the same, he asked further. He wrapped up the conversation saying that will the authorities would wake up when a senior actor in depression for being out of work commits suicide. 

Following the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), authorities have advised senior citizens to stay at home. The new SOPs set by the central government suggest that actors or crew members above 65 years will not be allowed to shoot amid the COVID-19 conditions. This is the reason actor Kanwaljeet Singh was replaced by a young actor for Sony Liv's Sandwich.
