Aftab Shivdasani
Stationed in London since the month of April, Aftab Shivdasani is set to step out of his home for the first time since lockdown restrictions eased. The actor, who is set to attend the ICC World Test Championship Final match in Southampton, backing team India in the war against New Zealand, says, “What better way to support my country than do so via the sport we all love. We are taking precautions. We don’t plan to meet the cricketers as the players and support staff are in a bio bubble. I also have a family and a 10-month-old daughter, Nevaeh, so I wouldn’t want to take any risks.”
Shivdasani is the newest addition to Neeraj Pandey’s web series, Special Ops 1.5, shooting for which had ground to a halt in April, after commencing in March in Mauritius. “I had started shooting briefly. We shot a scene on a moving plane, something I’ve never done. Unfortunately, we had to adjourn the shoot due to the second wave, but we resume in July, in accordance with the stipulated SOPs.”
