Question: – Do you think that you will be able to find time between duty and shooting?

Abhishek Singh told that he had heard about the Delhi Crime web series but had never seen it. Abhishek has also recently worked in a short film ‘Char Fifteen’. It won several awards and Disney is doing well on Hotstar. Apart from this, Abhishek is being talked to some prominent filmmakers on the topic of social governance.

Abhishek Singh gave this answer on the question of continuing acting in future. He said- ‘I believe that acting and cinema are areas where you can influence many people simultaneously. If we make a film with a visionary vision such as Padman or Tare Zameen, then you raise the issues of society and make a healthy discussion topic, which removes many harmful perceptions and evils of society. Governments also try to do the same. If I get a chance in films being made on this kind of social theme, then I would definitely like to. 

In this difficult time, the IAS officer has appealed to the people to support each other. He said- ‘Stay with love as much as possible at this time, don’t pay attention to rumors, keep your food and well and be mentally happy. Remember that we will all be together only then we will come out of this situation, no one can come out alone. Therefore, the most important thing is to stay organized.
