Malaika Arora is known for sharing motivational posts with fans on her Instagram account and this is something that she has been doing for more than two years. She also shares candid pictures and videos to entertain her social media followers. This time, it was a little different. She shared a long note with fans and told them about the changes she felt after testing positive for Covid-19. She stated, “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. I tested positive on the 5th of September and it was really bad. Anyone out there calling a COVID recovery easy, is either blessed with great immunity or isn't aware of the struggles of COVID." [SIC]

She added, “Having gone through it myself, "Easy" is not the word I'd choose. 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." [SIC]
