Amid
the
nationwide
lockdown
because
of
the
Novel
Coronavirus
pandemic,
Kriti
Kharbanda
has
been
under
quarantine
for
over
a
month.
The
actress
was
down
with
a
cough
and
cold,
after
returning
from
the
engagement
party
of
her
actor-boyfriend
Pulkit
Samrat's
brother
in
Delhi.
In
a
recent
interview
with
Mumbai
Mirror,
Kriti
said
she
was
terrified
that
she
had
contracted
COVID-19
after
her
recent
bout
of
flu.
She
said
she
could
not
get
herself
checked
as
the
test
kits
were
not
available
in
the
country
back
then.
The
Housefull
4
actress
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
leading
daily,
"I
thought
it
best
not
to
mingle
given
the
symptoms.
I
was
terrified
I
had
contracted
the
virus
but
since
test
kits
were
not
available
in
the
country
back
then
and
I
did
not
have
a
fever,
the
doctors
advised
me
to
distance
myself
and
monitor
my
symptoms.
I
was
paranoid
for
the
first
three
days,
then,
I
started
to
feel
better."
Kriti
further
said
that
meditation
is
helping
her
to
deal
with
anxiety.
Meanwhile,
her
beau
Pulkit
Samrat
has
moved
into
the
same
building
as
hers
and
the
lovebirds
now
spend
their
days
together
playing
board
games,
Antakshari
and
dumb
charades
to
kill
boredom.
Talking
about
it,
she
told
the
tabloid,
"We
had
decided
to
stay
in
the
same
building
to
dodge
traffic,
but
now,
I
am
grateful
to
have
him
with
me.
I
can't
imagine
how
other
couples
who
don't
stay
together
are
dealing
with
the
lockdown."
The
actress
further
said
that
she
is
thankful
that
her
pantry
was
fully
stocked
after
she
arrived
home
and
only
has
to
go
downstairs
for
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables.
She
was
quoted
as
saying,
"As
actors,
we
follow
a
strict
diet,
with
recommended
amount
of
protein,
but
now,
we
are
making
do
with
the
basics.
We
are
just
thankful
to
have
food
on
our
plate."
Kriti
and
Pulkit
have
been
dating
for
a
year
now.
Last
year,
the
actress
opened
up
about
their
relationship
in
an
interview
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"No,
they
are
not
rumours.
We
are
dating
each
other.
In
all
honesty,
I
wanted
my
parents
to
know
first
that
I'm
dating
someone
and
when
you
start
seeing
someone,
it's
I
think
there's
a
time
for
everything
when
you're
comfortable
talking
about
it.
Sometimes
it
can
take
five
years;
sometimes
it
can
take
five
months.
In
our
case,
it
was
five
months,
but
I'm
in
a
very
happy
place
and
I
have
no
qualms
admitting
that
I
am
dating
Pulkit
Samrat."
