The actress, a Cancer survivor, has now recently spoken to Bollywood Hungama about how she has faced a bigger and probably a worse storm in her life than the Coronavirus, talking about her illness. She said, "I've faced a worse storm in my life. In comparison this seems easy. I am calm. I am meditating. I am doing yoga. I am spending time with my plants. I am connecting with Nature."

She added, "After years we can hear birds chirping in Mumbai. I am spending time with my parents. I've never felt so calm and at peace before." She also talked about how she was in the constant need to be in a relationship and how she's getting to know herself over the years.

She stated, "There was a time when I felt the constant need to be in a relationship. But that has changed over the years. In recent years, after my illness, I'm happy to be on on my own. This is a time when I am really getting to know myself."
