The year 2020 has been a challenging and unusual year for many. The Covid-19 pandemic was the most dominant concern worldwide, bringing a huge change in lifestyle for everyone. Actor Adnan Siddiqui recently looked back on 2020 and shared his thoughts about the year that holds great importance for him.
Despite being the year that mainly revolved around the struggle to survive, Adnan confessed that he admires the year and all that it has taught him.
“In three weeks from now, 2020 will be behind us. A most extraordinary year. When we rang it in, I don’t think anyone had even a vague idea that three months into it and our lives, as we knew it, would come to a halt. A thriving world came to an abrupt standstill and we are still waiting for normalcy to return. No wonder, our most common refrain since March 2020 is, ‘when will life be back to old normal,’” the Meray Paas Tum Ho actor wrote.

“I have always felt that in every adversity lies an opportunity. We only need to discover that,” he said answering the question that has been on everyone’s mind.
“The amount of free time I had on my hands, thanks to the lockdown, was God sent. I loved the languid pace at which life was moving all those months. And as Mac Davis crooned, I stopped and smelled the roses.”
This year has changed the family dynamics for many including the celebs. Life slowed and due to the lockdown, most people got to spend time at home and do things that weren’t previously possible in the fast-paced world.
“My kids were the happiest to have me around 24 hours and I would like to imagine myself as a more patient and wiser parent while dealing with the millennials. I finished a book that was mocking me for years for having left it in between. Caught up on sleep, wrote poetry,” Adnan shared his gratitude.
“But most of all, 2020 enlightened me to a new perspective of life. To accept it in a larger scheme of things. I learnt that man, even if he fancies himself as omnipotent, can never conquer nature. 2020 also taught me to slow down a bit, to hold my loved ones closer, to pray a little longer, and never to take life for granted,” the actor concluded.
