'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' Actors Wear Face Masks/Shields On-Screen Leaving Everyone Amused
In a clip that has gone viral on social media, actors from the cast of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai were donning face masks and shields on the show. Since things are opening up and the economy is trying to get back to normalcy, shooting of television shows has also started taking place.
Face masks have become the norm ever, now that the novel coronavirus has become a part of our lives. Each and everybody is being directed to wear a face mask while stepping out of their homes or interacting with someone from the outside.
Also, going by the way things are right now and with experts doing several studies to determine the importance of face masks, they might be around for a long time before we can go back to our old ways. Sigh.
However, what we did not realise - or maybe the thought just did not cross our minds - is that actors might also have to wear face masks and shields while shooting for films, TV shows etc.

As much as we are glad that safety and hygiene protocol is being followed, it is also extremely hilarious to see the actors wearing masks and shields over their make-up, which has always been an Indian soap opera thing - tonnes and tonnes of make up, along with heavy jewellery and gaudy clothing.
Aside from the protocol, it was also very funny to see how they made use of the face mask in the plot of the show as one of the actors takes off her face mask in what looks like a 'shocking' over-dramatic scene - another thing Indian soap operas are popular for.
The viral clip features Alka Kaushal aka Sita Choudhary and Naira Goenka played by Shivangi Joshi.

There is also a bonus clip where the protagonists are sharing an intimate moment, in which the male protagonist Mohsin Khan Kartik is helping Shivangi Joshi apply sanitiser and put on gloves and a face shield.
