The wrath of COVID-19 seems to be striking hard once again and seemingly more and more people are getting affected by the same. The latest to be finding herself to be positive for the virus is actor Delnaaz Irani. The actor is all set to be seen in Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Se where she underwent a test on Saturday and the reports have come out to be positive. 

Talking about it with ETimes TV, Irani said, “I was shooting till December 30 and we had an off for the next two days. On December 31, I started shivering, had a high fever and immense body pain. Percy (Karkaria, her boyfriend) and I decided to undergo a test. Fortunately, Percy tested negative, but I was positive.”

She added, “I am feeling so miserable, as I have been extremely careful and strict with everyone on the set constantly telling them to wear masks and follow social distancing at all times. I feel extremely dejected, as it’s the beginning of the year. I am coming back after a long time and everything is perfect in terms of the role and the show. Par woh kehte hain na ki sab kuchh perfect hota hai toh nazar lag jaati hai. Shaayad mujhe khud ki lag gayi (smiles).”

Talking about what she felt when she got the report, “When I got my report, I cried like a child and Percy gave me the much-needed support. I am hoping to recover soon. Looking at the bright side, we have a bank of 12-13 episodes and this allows me to rest well. Both my producers have been checking on my health and they are extremely supportive and considerate. All my co-actors have been calling and messaging me, too. I am missing my set and hope to be back soon.”

We wish the actor a speedy recovery.
