While
the
nation
continues
to
battle
against
the
Novel
Coronavirus
pandemic,
Esha
Gupta
recently
revealed
to
a
leading
tabloid
that
she
was
aware
of
the
gravity
of
the
situation
much
before
it
reached
to
India,
because
of
her
Spanish
boyfriend.
Without
revealing
the
name
of
her
businessman
beau,
the
actress
said
that
he
has
been
updating
her
about
the
deadly
virus
and
the
precautions
one
needs
to
take
to
fight
COVID-19.
A
Hindustan
Times
report
quoted
Esha
as
saying,
"My
boyfriend,
who
is
in
Spain,
has
been
in
isolation
and
has
been
taking
all
kinds
of
precautions.
He
has
been
telling
me
about
the
virus
and
somehow
I
was
mentally
prepared
for
this
lockdown
to
happen.
I'm
taking
to
him
every
day
and
video
calling
to
keep
a
check
on
his
health.
Honestly,
he's
the
one
who
is
calming
for
the
otherwise
hyper
person
that
I
am.
He
has
this
relaxing
effect
on
me."
Meanwhile,
the
actress
is
constantly
in
touch
with
her
family
in
Delhi
through
video
call
to
check
if
"they're
taking
good
care
of
themselves".
Speaking
about
how
she
is
dealing
with
the
COVID-19
crisis,
Esha
told
the
tabloid,
"I
am
trying
to
keep
myself
calm
and
also
taking
care
of
my
health...
treating
it
like
a
war
situation.
(I
am)
Not
hoarding
food
like
many
other
people,
because
I
know
that's
wrong
and
I'm
also
making
sure
that
I
don't
overdo
or
waste
things.
The
more
I
save
today,
it's
all
the
better
for
my
tomorrow," adds
the
34-year-old,
who
does
yoga
for
a
peaceful
mind
and
a
healthy
body."
The
actress
said
that
maintaining
sanity
in
such
trying
times
can
be
difficult
and
added,
"It's
natural.
But
we
can't
lose
the
battle
so
easily.
We
need
to
try
our
best.
Try
doing
yoga,
it
helps
a
lot.
And
focus
on
the
good
things
in
life.
I'm
also
keeping
myself
away
from
negative
people."
Esha
further
revealed
that
she
is
spending
her
time
in
lockdown
by
doing
productive
things
like
learning
Spanish,
playing
the
guitar,
cooking
and
baking.
She
also
revealed
that
feeding
street
dogs
makes
her
happy
and
said,
"I
carry
their
food
in
my
back(pack)
and
wearing
a
mask
and
gloves
every
day
in
the
evening."
