Actress
Malaika
Arora,
who
has
tested
negative
for
COVID-19,
shares
her
experience
about
coping
up
with
the
deadly
virus,
and
how
she
defeated
it.
For
the
unversed,
on
September
7,
she
tested
positive
and
was
quarantining
at
home
since
that
day.
While
speaking
to
Mumbai
Mirror,
Malaika
shared
that
the
first
few
days
were
really
bizarre
and
she
was
unable
to
fathom
what
had
happened.
Malaika
further
added
that
no
one
can
prepare
himself/herself
for
this
deadly
virus
as
it
hits
like
a
thunderbolt.
She
said,
"There
were
times
when
I
felt
so
weak
and
drained,
I
couldn't
even
move,
forget
getting
out
of
bed.
Can
you
imagine
someone
like
me
who
has
led
a
healthy
and
active
life,
being
in
that
state?
In
these
14
days,
I
realised
that
this
virus
can
bring
you
to
your
knees
and
you
can
do
little
about
it."
While
praising
frontline
warriors
and
caretakers
at
home,
she
said,
"This
is
why
I
believe
that
caregivers
at
home
and
in
hospitals
are
angels
and
I
wouldn't
have
made
it
through
without
them.
It
also
helped
that
many
from
my
building
often
prepared
and
sent
food
so
that
the
burden
was
eased."
Malaika
also
revealed
what
kept
her
motivated
to
defeat
the
virus
and
said
that
she
received
love
and
support
from
so
many
people
she
had
lost
touch
with.
She
also
caught
up
on
reading,
something
which
she
had
completely
stopped
doing.
Malaika
also
asserted
that
video
calls
have
really
been
a
life-changing
game
for
her.
Speaking
about
her
recovery,
Malaika
also
shared
that
she
did
everything
she
was
advised
to
do
i.e.,
gargling,
steaming
and
gulping
down
kaadhas.
We're
happy
to
learn
that
Malaika
is
back
to
being
fit.
