Kanika
Kapoor
was
one
of
the
very
first
celebrities
to
had
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
in
the
early
days
of
the
pandemic.
The
singer
who
is
now
back
to
work
in
Mumbai
recently
opened
up
about
the
backlash
she
received
at
the
time
she
had
tested
positive
for
Coronavirus.
Kanika
had
returned
from
London
at
the
time
and
was
seen
at
social
gatherings.
Recalling
the
incident,
she
told
Bombay
Times
that
no
one
was
ready
to
listen
to
her
side
of
the
story.
She
added
that
there
was
"no
check
at
the
airport
and
no
quarantine
rule."
She
didn't
hide
having
been
tested
positive
either.
Kanika
also
revealed
that
the
family
gatherings
were
not
hosted
by
her.
But
everyone
was
worried
if
they
had
contracted
the
disease.
"Over
300
people
were
tested
twice
in
a
week,
and
none
of
them
tested
positive,
including
the
staff."
Kanika
Kapoor
Opens
Up
About
Backlash
After
Testing
Positive
For
COVID-19
Talking
about
the
backlash
she
received
on
the
social
media
and
how
the
family
dealt
with
it
while
she
was
in
the
hospital
for
two
weeks,
she
added,
"I
didn't
get
to
see
them
for
four
months.
They
were
getting
calls
and
messages
from
people
on
social
media,
and
some
of
them
were
downright
nasty,
even
telling
them
to
kill
themselves.
My
parents
were
getting
calls
from
people
all
over.
They
all
dealt
with
the
pressure.
Today,
I
am
strong,
but
I
was
shaken
by
what
I
saw
around
me."
Kanika
On
What
The
Experience
Taught
Her
About
Showbiz
The
singer
confessed
that
she
knew
nothing
about
showbiz
and
the
attention
she
grabbed
earlier
this
year
was
a
lesson
well
learnt.
"When
it
comes
to
this
experience,
there
were
stories
that
stated
the
wrong
facts
about
me.
Over
time,
I
realised
that
if
I
am
going
to
travel,
record
songs
and
be
loved
by
people,
I
will
also
receive
hatred
and
dislike.
I
don't
blame
it
on
my
social
status.
We
all
go
through
this
in
our
own
ways.
The
COVID-19
experience
has
made
me
stronger,
and
I
am
a
better
version
of
myself
today."
she
added.
Kanika
Kapoor
Says
She
Has
Come
Out
Stronger
Kanika
said
currently
her
state
of
mind
is
"much
calmer
than
before"
and
she
is
"more
focused
on
my
work
and
my
family.
I
have
immersed
myself
in
my
new
songs.
It
makes
me
happy
that
I
can
do
that
and
be
myself."
