Everyone was affected by the lockdown imposed during the infection of Coronavirus. Some had lost their jobs, while some had lost a lot of business. Be it common or special, everyone had suffered heavy losses. Now Mithun Chakraborty, who is currently judging ‘Hunarbaaz… Desh Ki Shaan’ himself, has also expressed his pain. He told that his hotel had suffered a lot during Covid. The situation had become such that it became difficult to sell even a cup of coffee.
In a special conversation with ETimes, the actor told that he is very excited about the TV reality show Hunarbaaz. He enjoys working with Karan Johar and Parineeti Chopra. During this, he also gave his opinion on COVID-19 and lockdown. The actor told that everyone was badly affected by Covid during that time. Apart from being an actor, I am also a businessman. I have several hotels. But there came a time when not even a single coffee was sold because the coronavirus has engulfed the fleet. And the worst part is that we did not get any support from the government. The tourism and hospitality industry was also affected. Mithun also mentioned about the daily wage laborers and said, ‘How would he have spent these two years, the soul trembles at the thought of it.’
The actor further says, ‘I saw difficult times during Covid in my own home. The first job was to take care of my family. Because I am the only earner, so we have suffered a lot in lockdown. He could earn very little money from the hotel. And then later that too had stopped coming. Tried my best to stand by the hotel staff. I did as much as I could, but when I could not, I requested him to wait a bit, let’s do something. That’s how it went.
The actress says that she has also seen good times in business. But there was some trouble during that period. ‘I had told my employees that all of you should distribute the money coming from the business. I’ll take a look from my side. I also explained to myself that all this is not going to last forever, there will come a time when this too will pass.’
