The year 2020 was the most different and difficult time in everyone’s lives. We were all forced to be confined in the four walls of our homes, many were forced to isolate themselves, almost everyone lost someone… This was a year when humans were confined but humanity prevailed. We all could finally relate and sympathize with others.
 
During these times of lockdown entertainment industry kept us all sane. Our movie stars, our songwriters, musicians, and their work entertained us and kept our minds light but no one was untouched by the tragedies that were going on around the world, and the entertainment industry too suffered losses.
