Life does not change after you have Covid-19

was anxious when I didn’t have all the informatio­n. But I think was psychologi­cally at peace once I knew everything about it,” he shares.

He goes on to say that the disease “manifests in every person differentl­y”, and this adds to the confusion. “Carla and I had completely different symptoms. I think that’s also why there’s confusion. In our case, our doctor advised home quarantine for me, and when he heard Carla’s symptoms, he asked us to hospitalis­e her immediatel­y,” says the artiste.

Kanungo, however, insists that people should seek proper medical advice, and steer clear of self-diagnosis using informatio­n available on the internet. “I think more than anything else, we should contain it and try to be extra careful. And if medically, we have to take any advice, it should only be from doctors,” he cautions.

While he wasn’t worried much about his health, Kanungo, 29, admits he was worried about Dennis, as she had to be hospitalis­ed. He shares, “I was sh*t scared, to be honest, especially when she started developing breathing issues. I think that’s what happens. You don’t think about yourself anymore, you worry about those you love.”

“My mother as well. She told me she was praying I don’t have Covid-19, despite wanting me to get tested,” he signs off.
