MUMBAI: Recent developments claim that telly actress Ariah Agarwal, who plays the antagonist in the show Prem Bandhan, has also tested positive.
Ariah said, “I had slight fever and although I didn’t have any other symptoms, I underwent a test yesterday, which came back positive. I shoot with actors across all age groups - senior and young. When you are working amid such a mix, it is not right to not be careful. My conscience didn’t allow me to not test.”.
The actress has lost her sense of smell in the past couple of hours. She said, “I am feeling weak and have lost my sense of smell. It’s a bit weird to not be able to smell anything. I have isolated myself in my room. I’m taking Vitamin-C, zinc and doing steam inhalation. I am also staying well hydrated. Along with that, I am meditating and resting as much as possible. I’m digitally connected to my dear ones, who are making me feel loved. Some friendships are growing stronger. I have all the time to chat with my friends and catch up on the lost time (smiles).”.
She added, “Though forced, I am utilising this break to rest and rejuvenate. Even though I want to get back on the sets, I’m trying to stay calm and use this time to introspect and process life. I am working on my mental health and well-being, too. I’m watching shows, listening to music and playing Ludo on the phone (laughs!).”.
She has a piece of advice to all those who have been infected. “Your mental health gets affected when you are struck with COVID-19. So, I urge everyone to take care of their mental health, too.”.
