Sharad
Malhotra,
who
is
currently
seen
in
Vidrohi,
is
one
of
the
many
TV
actors
who
have
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
in
the
third
wave.
The
38-year-old
has
now
opened
up
about
catching
the
virus
in
an
interview
with
HT.
Sharad
revealed
that
he
had
come
back
from
a
trip
with
his
wife,
and
decided
he
should
take
a
COVID
test
as
a
precautionary
measure
and
it
turned
out
to
be
positive.
The
actor
shared,
“I
felt
that
as
a
responsible
citizen
because
you
have
been
out,
meeting
people,
travelling,
you
might
as
well
have
a
test
done.
Before
resuming
work,
it
is
always
better
to
get
a
test
done.
This
goes
for
everyone.”
He
also
said
that
he
has
been
holed
up
inside
his
house
ever
since
he
tested
positive.
It
must
be
noted
that
Sharad
informed
everyone
on
social
media
about
his
diagnosis.
Meanwhile,
his
wife
tested
negative.
On
being
quizzed
about
how
he
feels
currently,
Malhotra
said,
“I
am
feeling
fine
absolutely.
I
barely
have
any
symptoms,
they
are
extremely
mild.
I
just
have
a
scratchy
throat,
slight
headache,
nothing
else.”
Sharad
also
spoke
about
how
TV
actors
don’t
have
the
luxury
of
being
apprehensive
about
going
out
and
shooting.
“There
is
no
breathing
space
on
TV.
There
is
no
time
to
take
a
breather
to
assess
the
situation.
We
are
churning
out
content
daily,
it’s
like
a
factory.
The
makers
of
my
show
have
been
really
kind,
worried
and
supportive.
They
called
me
and
said
'Don’t
worry’
It
is
something
that
the
entire
world
has
been
hit
by.
The
new
wave
is
hitting
every
sector,
commercial,
industrial,
corporate.
We
all
have
to
face
it,
stand
united,”
he
added.
