Mohit Raina, who was hospitaliz­ed after contractin­g Covid-19, last month, recovered well and is currently at home. Raina shared pictures of himself in hospital, including one where his hand is resting on a hospital bed. The Devon Ke Dev – Mahadev actor captioned the post, saying, “As I look outside and inside I say a small prayer for everyone. Dad always said prayers work magically. I would request all of you to stay safe and pray for humanity… Everyday I see a gamut of human emotions. we are okay coz of them..(sic)”

Talking about the battle with Covid, the actor explains his ordeal, “Apparently, according to doctors, the virus was very strong and it was beginning of the second wave, so it went unnoticed for some time. After having severe symptoms, I was hospitalis­ed for a long time till I was stable and discharged. I was in isolation till I completely recovered. I am indebted to the doctors in Lucknow.”

Raina was shooting there when he fell ill and also recalls shooting with actor Major Bikramjeet, who recently passed away, days before Raina tested positive. “I feel lucky because a day prior to getting admitted I was shooting with Maj. Bikramjeet and as we all know he is not with us anymore. May his soul RIP.”

He adds, “Hospitalis­ation was tough but in the current scenario you can’t complain because what people on the ground are going through is beyond our imaginatio­n. I just pray to the Almighty that we all pass these unpreceden­ted times. My takeaway and learning from these times is the same which I have always followed and that is, you don’t need much to live a happy and content life.”
