With the entire country under lockdown, everyone is resorting to social media to maintain contact with one another. And Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 actress Erica Fernandes is no different. After mastering cooking and dolling out some dishes, the actress channelled her inner artist. And now, the girl who was usually active on Instagram while shooting for her daily soap round the clock is now using the platform to spread awareness and information about self-care. Erica Fernandes Awakens Her Inner Artist, Says 'Drawing Keeps Me Calm and Focused'.

"I felt that I should do my bit to help people with being informative about what can be done to prevent a virus of this stature. And for me, watching a way of doing something correctly rather than just reading about it, has always worked well! Hence I decided to highlight selective topics through social media videos, which are in the need of the hour," revealed Erica. Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 Star Erica Fernandes Rocks A Cleavage-Baring Top and Sequin Pants As She Graces A Magazine Cover (View Pic).

Well, we can be assured that Erica's videos do reach a large amount of her audience, for her YouTube channel, a few months back, reached 1 million subscribers.
