What is FEMINISM? How society Misunderstood it?

 PEEKING IN CELEBRITIES LOCKDOWN LIFESTYLE

The only solace many of us have in this lockdown is the fact that we are co-islolating either with friends or family members. But then there are also people , who are practising the perfect version of total self-isolation, those living by themselves and managing life without any help whatsoever from another person.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the rapid and extensive spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has brought about severe and long-lasting restrictions on mobility outside one’s home. It has also caused some degree of reduced access to various services, including the provision of healthcare and food, and a loss of direct social interactions.

All these have led to a distinct change in the way people spend their time, possibly the most dominant experience among affected people.

Celebrities, the people who are very conscious about their eating habits, body fitness, looks, body language, way of talking, and for whom all that matters is just their class. People view celebrities as their role models. Firstly, celebrities influence fashion by wearing whatever is in style at the time but they also create trends for themselves. As a result, they have mostly contributed to the development of the fashion industry.

 In a lockdown, as everybody was locked in their homes, celebs too faced many problems. people who are mostly surrounded by maids and servants were left alone without any help. They did their work on their own. They did all household work like cooking, sweeping, dusting, etc. They showed on social media how they were doing their work and living their day.  

Some celebs did farming. they grew different types of vegetables and fruits in their small farm at home. many went to their farmhouse and spend their lockdown doing farming and growing crops..

We have seen celebs as fitness freaks. gyms being closed created problem for them but celebs took care of that too. they regularly exercised and took care of their eating habits. they followed the proper routine and kept them fit in lockdown too. 

many people came up with their hobbies and did different and creative things.  they did things that were being postponed due to their busy schedule. 

like some of the celebs posted their daily things on social media.

Actor Maanvi Gagroo is not one to complain about the situation as she says her life has become more disciplined now. “I don’t have the option of sitting and brooding anymore, I get up and do chores. Actually having become more disciplined about my workouts now… earlier I would say ‘I can’t go to the gym today’ or tell my trainer let’s do it tomorrow. But now there’s no excuse, I can even work out at three in the night!,” she tells us. 

Similarly, Mandana Karimi only has her dogs for company and reveals how she almost had a ‘break down’ days into the lockdown. “There was a leakage in my kitchen, and I had to find a plumber. Luckily, I found one in our society. I had to myself cover my kitchen, remove the food since they had to break down things too. It took three hours, then I had to clean up everything. One day is dedicated to cooking, another to jhaadu-pochha, then one day to washing utensils,” says the 31-year-old.

Naturally, supplies do run out after a point, and being alone adds to the pressure. For Chandan Roy Sanyal, who’s living in Mumbai in an area which has seen a number of Covid-19 positive cases, things however have been easy. “I have been used to living on my own for a long time now. I am a light-eater, but my onions and garlic have almost run out. I had been living on that supply for a month now. I have stepped out only twice- once to buy food for my cat, and the other time to get milk. Otherwise vendors keep coming to our society,” he shares. 

Arti Singh laughs when she mentions the way she and brother, comedian Krushna Abhishek interact with each other nowadays. They stay two minutes apart from each others’ house. “The first week I was like, I love cooking, so I will enjoy, but after that, I cook only one day, then the washing work the next day and so on. I am so busy all day still. I am connected with my family, that support is there. Every evening, I see Krushna coming out in his balcony downstairs which is visible from mine, and we see each other!,” she reveals. 

While the entire nation is put under a lockdown to tackle the spread of coronavirus, Bollywood celebs are making the most of their time staying indoors. While some have taken up learning a new instrument, others are spending their time reading books or painting. A section of B-Town have also taken to trying their hand at cooking and have turned into home chefs during this period. Sidharth Malhotra, Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday, Malaika Arora, Rajkummar Rao, Patralekhaa, Mouni Roy and many others are keeping themselves busy by channelling their inner chefs.
