Piya Valecha, who has been a part of shows like Baal Veer, Dilli Wali Thakur Gurls, Bahu Humari Rajni Kant and Chandra Nandini tested positive for COVID-19 some time ago. After recuperating at home, the actress is now virus free.

Talking about the phase of self-isolation, Piya says, "Like most people, I was also scared and worried when I tested positive for COVID-19. However, panicking isn't of any use. I calmed myself down and consulted a doctor immediately. I had mild symptoms, so I isolated myself and started my medication as prescribed by the doctor. What really kept me going is a positive state of mind. Keeping calm and being positive are very important in every situation in life. In these last few weeks, I have learnt to be more patient and adopt a positive attitude towards life. I meditated and did breathing exercises to attain peace of mind. I may have turned COVID negative, but this experience has made me more positive in life. Turning positive to negative was a mental challenge, which eventually made me more strong. I have realised that having a positive state of mind results into a positive state of life."
