Siya Ke Ram actor Ashish Sharma turns into a farmer amid COVID-19 pandemic. Here's why

The COVID-19 pandemic left many to leave their jobs and stay with their families in their hometowns. However, for Ashish Sharma, he made a decision to become a farmer and getting back to his roots. Yes, that’s true! The actor who is known for playing crucial roles in daily soaps like Rangrasiya and Siya Ke Ram visited his village Thanera near Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan and has been living there ever since. His Instagram handle is filled with a lot of pictures and videos of him enjoying spending time in the fields, doing organic farming and chilling with the cows and other animals. Not only this but in a recent interview with a portal he spilled beans on why he thought of getting back to his roots.

Speaking to TOI, Ashish said, “We had forgotten to appreciate the simple pleasures of life. Thankfully, this pandemic gave all of us an opportunity to introspect about what we want from life. I have realised that little things in life make it more beautiful. I decided to get back to my roots and become a farmer. Agriculture has been our profession for ages but there was a disconnect since I moved to Mumbai. So, I decided to come back, bring back the holistic approach in life and indulge in sustainable living.”

Not alone but Ashish is accompanied by his wife Archana. Sharing deets on what he does, the actor said, “I relived my childhood days, lived on a farm, slept on the charpoy, gazed at stars at night and woke up to the chirping of birds. I even enjoyed bathing in the open and just loved the splash of cold water on my body for a long time. Waking up to watch the sunrise and its varied hues was tremendously satisfying. It’s a feeling which cannot be expressed merely in words. I recreated old moments and created memories.”
