BATTLE WITH COVID-19 WAS MENTALLY DRAINING, SAYS JIGYASA SINGH
Jigyasa Singh talks about the time hen her family contracted Covid-19
Actor Jigyasa Singh has been dealing with Covid-19 on a personal level since a while. The last month and a half took a huge toll on the actor’s family as first, her father tested positive, then a few days later, her brother did too. Singh and her mum couldn’t step out of the house and were taking care of them. Soon after, her mother tested positive and finally, she did too.
Talking about her Covid battle, Singh says, “My mother and I were worried about contracting Covid. We were in the same house as my father and brother. But we were equally concerned about them. We were taking all possible precautions, yet it was difficult. It was mentally draining to deal with Covid for over a month.”
She adds, “One person would reach the end of quarantine and another would show symptoms. It was more psychological than physical. It was quite tough but thankfully, we are all fine and I am the last one, on the road to recovery. I am better than before and will soon get tested again. I had acute symptoms and have recovered 60%.” She says that as she was inactive on social media for over a month, she wanted to inform her fans and so, posted about her condition.
The actor had made contingency plans and arranged for a bed for her father, who wasn’t feeling too well for a few days in between his quarantine but “thankfully he didn’t need to be admitted”. With news about Covid everywhere - the news, social media to anyone you call, Singh felt overwhelmed sometimes.
Singh reveals that she understood the grimness of the viral ailment once her family tested positive. “Jab tak Covid hua nahin tha, tab tak I was not aware of how bad it can be. One hears of symptoms and the seriousness of it, but only when you go through, do you realise the gravity of the situation. The second wave has been really bad for so many people. It is terrible to hear about number of deaths everyday. All I would like to urge people is to take care and follow all precautions,” the Thapki Pyar Ki actor ends.
