Salman Khan had also revealed that moving to his Panvel farmhouse during the lockdown was stressful for him. The actor had said, "Like everyone else even I was playing Bigg Boss in my house and have not stepped out of my house during the last six months. Today is the first time that I am shooting. Whatever little bit of social media post I had to do I did from my farmhouse. I was at the farm. In Mumbai, I live on the first floor and my parents stay on the ground floor so just to be safe I stayed at my farm. We had gone to Panvel, my farmhouse before the lockdown and got stuck there. Thank God it's a huge space there which my father had bought some 30 years ago and I am lucky that it is now coming to use. By the grace of God, I was there and even there we had the pressure of work not resuming. It was quite stressful."
