    They added rose-tinted filters to what had become everyday mundaneness during a pandemic that saw restrictions on movement. Bollywood celebrities and their social media feeds played out almost like little movies, showing us the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the creation of their fabulous lives. It may have been a curated line-up, but it was for all its voyeuristic undertones entertainment at a time of pandemic, of boredom, of isolation. Here’s a final look at all the stuff, from housework to piano playing, the stars got up to this year. Image Credit:
