The blasts in Indonesia shocked many. Meanwhile, actors Ankit Bathla and Mrunal Jain who are doing an Indonesian series in Jakarta were in the same city when the blasts happened.

After the sudden news, we got in touch with Ankit and Mrunal who are there for work purposes and were in the close vicinity where the unpleasant incident happened. 

Ankit Bathla said, "We were just planning to step out because it was the last day before Ramadan and we packed up a little early  so we were just going out for dinner with the whole Indian cast and crew but we got to know that the bomb blast has happened and it's a twin bomb blast. The roads were jammed and there are people who lost their lives and also injured so I hope and pray that we are able to work together. In  Ramadan, as it is said a great month for everybody and I really want peace and happiness for all my fans and everybody. My family and friends in India got worried and I was flooded with calls and messages". 

Meanwhile Mrunal said, ''It was shocking to hear the bomb blast thing with Ramadan just beginning. We all are safe and the opportunity in Indonesia has been good so far. It has been very peaceful before this blast. I pray for the well being and speedy recovery of those injured and may the soul rest in peace of those who lost their lives. My family in India was concerned and I was flooded with messages and calls.'' May the families in Indonesia get the strength to survive through this time of hardship.
