With the nation currently in a lockdown for 21 days owing to the dreaded coronavirus, people from all walks of life have been told to adopt social distancing during this period and celebrities too are no exception. Considering there is plenty of free time, Bigg Boss Julie had taken to her social networking handles to interact with her followers and one among them had posted a query asking her what her current profession is and whether she wasn't going back to her previous job as a nurse.

Julie responded back saying, "Everyone asks me this.. I'm into acting now.. Nursing is a holy profession that needs full dedication and hard work. It's not possible to do nursing like other jobs as a freelancer.. And handling both jobs at the same time is very difficult coz shoots may make us go late for work and patients would be waiting I cannot risk patients life.."
