And now, actress Kangana Ranaut spoke to a news channel about how the industry is trying to help the daily wage workers cope up with the loss that is caused by a coronavirus, and lauded the government for doing a commendable job.

International Business Times brings to you excerpts from the interview

On the plight of daily wage workers

We all are doing our bit and also donating for this. Our huge concern for the economy has landed us all in the situation where we are with no concern for human wellbeing and this could also be a potential bio war where countries are trying to get down each other's economies. We have to reflect as to where we have landed as people, as a nation and why are we letting our greed, our senses guide us and not our consciousness."

On the economy of the nation

If this lockdown goes on for 21 days we will be two years behind economically, but if it goes beyond 21 days it is going to be a disastrous situation for our nation because we are a developing one. 

Losses she faced on the personal front

Right now we only exist as people here. I've stopped to see myself as an actor and like I said we should be ready for almost anything, we should be prepared to rise above individual concerns. So my films are also like everything else it's just stuck and I don't know where we will land it depends on when we come out of it. That is the reason I want more people to understand the seriousness of the situation. Right now individual gain or loss is not my concern."

For the unversed, IAHV, The Art of Living Foundation and the Film and Television fraternity have come together to launch the #iStandWithHumanity campaign for the daily wage earners, across the nation.

 Currently, Kangana Ranaut is in Manali her hometown with her family.
