Deepika Padukone recently opened up about the ‘difficult phase’ when she
was infected with Covid-19.
She revealed that she was ‘physically unrecognisable’ at that time. Deepika
had tested positive for Covid-19 in May last year. While the actress never posted any Covid-19 update while recovering, she has now opened up about her
experience battling the deadly virus.
Speaking to Film Companion, Deepika revealed that the Covid-19 pandemic changed her fundamentally as a person. During the first lockdown in 2020, the Om Shanti Om actress was with her husband Ranveer Singh. The second lockdown was not that easy for her as she, along with her entire family in Bengaluru had tested
positive for the novel coronavirus.
She said, “I think lockdown one was very, very different. It was all of us trying to figure what had come upon us. And
trying to understand how to navigate our lives around this new wave. Lockdown
two was also very different because everyone in my family, including me
had Covid at the same time.”
“Life after Covid changed for me because physically, I was unrecognisable completely… I think (due to) the medication I was given, the steroids that I was put on.
So, Covid in itself was weird, your body feels different, your mind feels different,” Deepika Padukone shared.
