Genelia
Deshmukh
Says
She
Never
Thought
That
She
Would
Be
COVID-19
Positive
As
She
Had
No
Symptoms
Genelia
told
the
tabloid
that
she
had
been
to
Latur,
where
someone
in
the
house
there
had
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
So,
everyone
took
the
COVID-19
test,
and
Genelia's
report
came
positive.
The
actress
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
never
thought
in
my
wildest
dream
that
I
would
test
positive
as
I
had
absolutely
no
symptoms-
no
cough
/fever
/cold
/nausea/breathlessness-
in
fact
just
nothing.
We
got
our
tests
done
in
Latur
and
we
were
supposed
to
come
back
on
that
day.
We
decided
to
stick
to
our
plan
and
it
was
on
my
journey
back
that
I
got
a
call
that
I
had
tested
positive.
Thankfully,
Riteish
and
the
kids
had
tested
negative."
Genelia
Reveals
Why
She
Was
Not
Admitted
In
The
Hospital
Genelia
revealed
that
instead
of
heading
back
home
after
testing
positive
for
COVID-19,
she
got
ready
to
admit
herself
at
Lilavati
Hospital.
"I
was
ready
to
deal
with
it
head-on.
But
when
they
checked
and
saw
that
I
was
totally
asymptomatic
and
even
my
X-ray
was
clear,
I
was
consequently
advised
to
quarantine
myself
at
home.
I
chose
to
go
and
stay
in
a
separate
place,
our
other
flat.
I
didn't
want
to
risk
anybody.
I
was
expecting
that
I
might
contract
fever
or
some
other
symptom
on
the
3rd
day.
But
there
too,
nothing
happened."
Genelia
Reveals
The
Most
Challenging
Part
Of
Battling
COVID-19
The
actress
said
that
staying
in
a
separate
flat
was
the
most
challenging
part
of
battling
COVID-19.
She
told
ETimes,
"In
hindsight,
I
think
I
should
have
quarantined
myself
in
a
separate
room
in
my
house
only.
It
was
very
tough
to
stay
alone,
not
hearing
even
anybody's
footsteps.
It's
terrible
to
be
in
surroundings
which
are
not
totally
to
your
daily
routine
and
comfort
and
just
sit
there
doing
virtually
nothing.
My
friends,
however,
kept
me
cheerful
by
calling
me
up,
every
now
and
then.
And
let
me
tell
you
the
way
Riteish
took
charge
of
the
kids,
it
was
remarkable.
He
was
extremely
worried
but
braved
it
out.
Riteish
is
a
great
husband
and
father."
Genelia
On
Why
She
Decided
To
Speak
Post
Recovery
"I
began
to
feel
there's
too
much
information
and
misinformation
on
Coronavirus
out
in
the
public
domain.
Which
is
why
I
am
finally
speaking,"
the
actress
told
the
tabloid.
