I Was Afraid, I Felt Broken: Malaika Arora On COVID-19 Recovery
Mumbai: Actress Malaika Arora, who tested positive for COVID-19 last year, opened up about her journey to recovery and wrote on Instagram.
The celebrity mom penned down a powerful note stating that it wasn’t “easy”.
She took to Instagram and wrote, “What defines strength? “You’re so lucky”, “It must have been so easy” is something I hear regularly. Well yes, I am grateful for a lot of things in my life. But luck played a very small role in it. And easy!? Boy! That, it was not.”
“It broke me physically. Walking 2 steps felt like a herculean task. Sitting up, just stepping out of bed, wanting to stand in my window was a journey in itself. I gained weight, I felt weak, lost my stamina, I was away from my family and more,” she added.
Malaika revealed that she was thankful after the negative test but the weakness persisted and she was disappointed that her body was supporting how she was feeling.
She further wrote, “I was afraid that I’d never gain back my strength. I wondered whether I’d even be able to complete one activity in 24 hours.”

“The four-letter word that pushed me through was HOPE. The hope that it’s all going to be okay, even when it feels like it’s not okay. Thank you to all of you who have been sending me messages, DMs and inspiring stuff which kept my spirits high. But I also pray that the world recovers as well and we all come out of this together. I come out of this phase with 2 words. GRIT & GRATITUDE,” she concluded.
Last month, Malaika the first jab of the COVID-19 vaccine and urged everyone to take their shots on time.
