Sonam Kapoor on why she decided to return to India from UK owing to coronavirus crisis

Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor who is married to businessman Anand Ahuja recently landed back in India from the UK amid the coronavirus crisis, right before the government announced a ban on international flights.

In a recent interview with Anupama Chopra, Sonam opened up about why she decided to come back and said, "I decided to come back to India right before the travel ban was imposed just because my father (actor Anil Kapoor) is 63. He’d hate to say this but he is 63, my mother is 63 as well. We all stay with Anand’s grandmother who is also around 80 years old. There was no one actually in my husband’s house just in case something happened to be there and take care of everything. So Anand and I did the responsible thing to fly back even though we were so scared to fly."

While returning to India, the 34-year-old actor also documented her experience of flying back from London on Instagram stories. Sonam started by thanking everyone at the airport, and the ones on the flight for a 'smooth and responsibly done' journey. The actor also addressed how she and her husband were surprised to see not much of a screening happening back in London.

She had also lauded the incredible ways in which the authorities and the governing bodies are handling the situation. "Everybody is doing their best ..we are together..I’m back in India with my husband and have no symptoms of the virus because we have been not in any countries that have a rampant spread of the virus."

Sonam and Anand are currently in Delhi and have put themselves in quarantine.
