For the first few minutes I was disoriented because obviously I didn’t know how to react. There were a thousand thoughts in my head. My entire schedule was going to go for a toss. We hear, speak and read about but until it happens to you it’s still news. There are so many theories going around Covid about how fast it’s spreading, the mortality rate, the medication… The fact that the whole world is unclear about this is a little bit worrying. Slowly I composed myself and decided to deal with it." (Also Read: Mehr Hugs And Plays With BFF, Inaaya, Mom, Neha Dhupia Shares Pictures To Wish Inni Happy Birthday)
