Zoa Morani on Battling COVID-19: I Lost Patience at times

Actress Zoa Morani battled the deadly Coronavirus and is back home. However, her father and Bollywood producer Karim Morani and sister Shaza are still in the hospital after they tested positive for Coronavirus.

Speaking about how it all started, Zoa told Hindustan Times:

I had mild fever, and then it worsened over a week, with dry cough, headache and fatigue. It was as if my immunity had taken a hit. When it started, the first thing I did was isolate myself from my parents as I live with them. I also started drinking immunity building drinks like kaada, haldi and tulsi paani, basically lots of fluids.

She adds that she knew she would test positive for the novel virus, but was still not prepared when the results of the tests came. Zoa talks about her experience in the hospital and what kept her going:

I was alone in the hospital then, but my doctor was kind, sensitive and gave me a lot of positivity. I kept telling myself ‘there are others out there with severe symptoms, fighting it out, so I must be grateful that I am in a manageable situation.

Zoa shares how Yoga helped her to keep calm :

God knew this was to happen, so he prepared me in advance. I’ve been an avid ashtanga yoga practitioner since six years, which teaches us how to handle the mind, body and lungs. Pranayam and surya namaskar were my true companions even through the symptoms.

My dad has a heart problem since a few years, but he is fighting it well, and my sister got intense headaches, but she was good with eating healthy. My symptoms continued for 21 days, I lost patience at times, but my yoga was a blessing and strength.
