Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya fame Pooja Gor has tested positive for COVID-19. The actress recently confirmed this on her Instagram account. In an interview with BT, Pooja talked about it and shared, “Mine is not a case where I didn’t feel anything and I got tested. I had mild symptoms like the usual in which I had a fever, body ache, sore throat, and cough. As soon as I felt a little out of place, I isolated myself and immediately got a home test done. The reports came positive. Following this, I did a RTPCR test too in which I tested positive again. I have been in home isolation ever since. I am feeling okay right now. Some days are bad, some are better.”
Pooja talked about her parents and friends being worried about her and said, “I stay alone in Mumbai and they are in my hometown, Ahmedabad. I am constantly updating them about my health status so that they are at ease. I have some amazing friends here in Mumbai who are sending me home-cooked food and I feel they are my strength. They are worried too but everyone is assuring me that it will be fine.”
Talking about the desi nuskas, the actress said, “I am constantly in touch with my doctor, but I am drinking kadha too every day. Haldiwala doodh is very good when we are ill so that is my constant companion. I am taking steam regularly because that has been proving really effective in this case,” she shares.
When asked how is she keeping herself busy in these home isolation days, Pooja said, “There are so many things which are keeping me busy. I am sleeping a lot,” laughs Pooja. She further adds, “The medicines make a person sleepy and fatigued. I try and read and also listen to podcasts. I sometimes watch television too but since it puts a strain on my eyes, I avoid that. I prefer reading or listening more. That has been helping me a lot.”
