Getting in front of the cameras again...was it weird, different feel after this long furlough... dunno."
Elaborating on how the team has been following safety norms, Big B added: "There is a loss of camaraderie... no one speaks unless it's work related... it's like a laboratory where some rather deep scientific experiments abound... this was never expected... never the time to see such visuals... but there it is...recognised faces now unrecognisable... and the doubts whether we are in the right place, with the right people... but... we muster up the fears and be on... there is great consideration and care being extended... all precautions carefully worked out and followed... precautions were there earlier too in times of distress... but this time its severe... its personal... this time, they know its fatality, god forbid... and that lingers... the light-heartedness has sealed itself... isolated... do the do and leave."
