Aditi travelled to the US on February 14 to attend an acting workshop and now awaits return back to Mumbai.

While speaking to Bombay Times, she said, “I had planned to stay back for a few days after my course ended on March 5, to meet my childhood friends and explore Los Angeles. But then, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. A few days before I was scheduled to return to India, I was informed by the airlines that my flight was cancelled. Incidentally, before the lockdown was announced in India, my mother also flew down to meet my aunt in Philadelphia. She was supposed to meet me, but I cancelled her flight as it wasn’t safe for her to travel. Now both of us are here, albeit in different cities. However, we are fine and safe.”

The actress admitted that it’s better to be in one’s homeland during such difficult times. The 20-year-old added, “My mom and I live in Mumbai, while the rest of my family — nani, mama, mami and cousin — live in Baroda. I am in touch with all of them via video calls. However, the fact that I can’t be with my nani is heartbreaking. I am also concerned about my mama and mami, who are doctors. Though they shut down their hospital, they are currently working at a government hospital.”
