Here's why Kangana Ranaut thinks of coronavirus pandemic as 'potential bio war'

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut is currently spending much-needed time with her family due to the nationwide lockdown owing to the coronavirus pandemic. In a recent interview, Kangana spoke about the Covid-19 pandemic as a "potential bio war".

Asked about helping daily wage workers in the film industry amid the complete lockdown, Kangana said, "We all are doing our bit and also donating for this. Our huge concern for economy has landed us all in the situation where we are with no concern for human well being. This could also be a potential bio war where countries are trying to get down each other’s economies. We have to reflect as where we have landed as people, as a nation and why are we letting our greed, our senses guide us and not our consciousness. 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."

She further urged citizens to take the crisis seriously and said, "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."

Recently, she was seen in a video posted by her team on Instagram, where she urged Indians to embrace spirituality instead of only running after materialistic pleasures.
