Amit sees the ongoing pandemic as an opportunity to heal ourselves. "We were brain dead, and coronavirus has given us a wake-up call. It has shown us the harsh realities of life and the condition of the underprivileged people. If people still don’t learn from this, I don’t think they’ll ever change for the good," he opined. The actor is now patiently waiting to meet his dogs and house help who are staying alone at his residence. "I was missing them and want to give them a big hug once I reach home," he said while also mentioning that in the past two months he was able to realise that work is not everything.
