Abstract The entire world has experienced a catastrophic event which has changed the view of people upon hygiene, health and work load distribution in a different way. The current paper intents to observe and bring the ground reality of work load and roles distribution among the family members despite of gender. The paper has been prepared based on the data collected from round the country. An Indian family are basically running upon the women in terms of household works and depends upon the men in terms of financial support. However, the scenario of the households has dramatically changed during the Covid-19. The entire world including India is connected with internet services due to the protocol and curfews during the period. Social media has spread the sharing of household workload by men widely. Various celebrities and influencing people have also parted openly in equal household work. Yet the paper intents to identify if such a scene of work distribution and roles played before and during Covid-19 are temporary or going to be intact post Covid-19 as well. The balancing of roles and household work by a woman in an Indian household has been empirically observed in the paper for better visualization from the ground level.
