Yesteryear actor and beauty pageant winner, Nafisa Ali Sodhi has been stuck in Morjim, Goa, since the lockdown. In a statement given to Hindustan Times, she said that there is a paucity of perishable products like fruits and vegetables and dry ration is now her staple diet.

However, she is running out of those as well and can’t have them couriered as postal services have been shut till the lockdown is lifted. They are not available in Morjim and travel to Panjim isn’t possible.

She had later participated in the Janata Curfew on 22 March and uploaded a video of the moment on her account.
On 22 March, Nafisa took to Instagram and posted a few coping mechanisms which can be used to survive through life in quarantine.
