Vijayendra Kumeria:?I am lucky that I have a house help who stays with me here only and they are like family to us. We don?t put the entire burden on them. As the lockdown has been extended, I have a lot of free time.

I try to do something or the other. I love cooking and this one time, I was cooking and the food was almost ready, I kept the flame on high and came to the hall. We were all watching the news and no one even realized that the food was burning.

Two environment-friendly things I follow?: save water especially in Mumbai. Water needs to be conserved as lot of energy is required to pump water from rivers or lakes into your home. take short showers, fix leaking pipes, keep the running tap close while you brush your teeth, recycle water in your home, use water-saving appliances, collect rainwater in a rain barrel to water your lawn.? And the second thing is Stop Littering: One of the common sights that we see every day on the streets is seeing people littering on roads. One of...

Amal Sehrawat:?April Fool's Day is another way to disrupt your monotonous daily life schedule in a fun way. It's also a test of your sense of humor, whether you can take a joke in a healthy spirit or not.

Mohammad Nazim:?On?Netflix, I love?The most beautiful hands of Delhi. It's not because I am being part of the series, but it?s a wonderfully made series, shot by an Oscar-nominated Swedish director, Hannes Holms. He is making this series into a Hollywood film and hopefully, I am looking forward to be part of it as well. Honestly, it has no lesson to learn but it best does what it?s supposed to do - entertain. But I, as an actor, loved how every actor has performed flawlessly and naturally yet keeping the spark and style alive.
