"With me starting to work, our parents in Chandigarh too should be safe at all times. Though I want to contribute to restart the industry, I also want to safeguard my family from the virus," he added.

The 'Vicky Donor' actor went on to reveal that along with him the entire production team of the film is also staying in the hotel.

"Following this, I have checked into a hotel along with the entire production team. We are all staying there till the end of the shoot. Whenever I go to meet my family now, we are maintaining social distance and also wearing our masks. It feels odd but it is an important security step," the 36-year-old actor said.
