Actor and nutritioni­st, Pavleen Gujral and her daughter became Covid positive in February. During the isolation, they danced, played and kept each other happy. “Isolation is not easy but we made it fun as we were together,” she says. Gujral used her Instagram as a tool to help women know more about the virus and how to fight it. “I posted videos with tips to help recover from Covid-19. I also shared nutritiona­l insights to help people get their strength back ,” says Gurjral, who also posted about fun activities that mom and kids could do together in isolation.

SAMEERA REDDY

“I was unaware that the second wave of Covid could affect kids as well. So when my kids tested positive, I broke down,” says actormom influencer Sameera Reddy. She panicked and started speaking to different doctors to understand how to treat her children. “Everyone was groping in the dark, there was so much ambiguity,” says Reddy. Her son had headaches, fever and weakness and her daughter also had similar symptoms. “It is a nightmare for a mother to see her child suffer while she herself falls ill. However, motherhood prepares you to deal with anything,” says Reddy who took up the charge of helping other mothers in similar situation. “I was myself ill but I sat down to conduct Instagram lives with doctors to spread awareness among mothers out there as there were no videos explaining what to do when your child gets the virus,” says Reddy who started getting nervous DMS from parents for help. Reddy and kids have now recovered. “My son is still not back to his form, it will take a while. But I’m trying to help as many mothers as I can,” she says.

Keep health-conscious people around you. Profits are likely to dip in a business venture. Possession of a property is foreseen. Academic performanc­e remains satisfacto­ry.

Some of you are set to improve your love life.
