Good neighbours are always a blessing, says Somy Ali

Among the positive sides of these dark times is how it has brought us close to our loved ones and people around us. Covid seems to have brought everyone close, says actor-turned-humanitarian Somy Ali.

“I live in an apartment building and my work hours are such that I don’t get to know my neighbours. But now I have started to know them slowly and I feel good about it. There are good things about knowing people, you get to learn so much,” she says. She continues, “Of course, good neighbours are always a blessing just like good people are. However, I am never home so it’s hard to make connections with neighbours when I am not around. I live by myself and absolutely love being self-reliant and independent.”
