Talking about the situation, Shaan told ETimes during a recent interaction, “I’ve heard that people in Kolkata seemed to have forgotten about the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone is out and about with full enthusiasm for pandal hopping, eating puchkas and all that, I think sab bohot zayada mood mein aa gayein hain (everyone’s gotten into a mood). I would like to tell people especially those who have young children or an ailing family member, to try and be a little more careful. Just wait for a year and then we will celebrate it wholeheartedly in Kolkata together. Please be a little careful this year. Enjoy the good, enjoy the music but try to keep social distancing. Please keep your masks on and keep washing your hands.”
Shaan’s co-singer Akriti Kakar echoed similar sentiments as she commented, “We are sitting in the house for the last 2 years and have made compromises. Some people have lost their close ones, so let’s be careful and not have a revenge celebrations.”
