'Silly things I do, will not heal or entertain anyone'
Sadh shared a long post and talked about the tough time the country is facing. "I believe my post and reels of gym sessions, the silly things I do, will not heal or entertain anyone. I personally feel the best way to be sensitive about the situation is to pray and hope for the things to get better," a part of it read.

Sadh also highlighted the bad situation Mumbai is facing, where new curbs have been imposed to stop the spread of the virus. In this light, he urged his followers to help those who are less fortunate. "Help the daily wage earners because they suffer the most. Life must go on even though I feel burdened. We cannot behave that everything is okay," he wrote.
