Popular Tollywood actor, Ram Charan, who got tested positive for COVID-19 in December last year, emerged victorious against the disease and is now busy with the shooting of SS Rajamouli's RRR. While the actor along with wife and staff was under quarantine, the actor's wife Upasana Kamineni opened up about the battle with coronavirus and told E Times, The first course of action was to protect my staff because they also went home to their families. The second decision I had to make was if I should be in close proximity to him and put myself under quarantine so that we could both deal with it together or if he should self-isolate. But the doctor cautioned me that I shouldn't expose myself to the virus because everyone reacts differently to it. So, I took utmost precaution at home. All of us were under quarantine and followed strict protocols. But I feel really bad for Covid patients because you are jailed even in your own house since there are others living there too.” Also Read - RRR: SS Rajamouli begins the shoot of the EPIC climax of the Jr NTR and Ram Charan starrer
She added, “The first two days were chaotic, because we didn't know what to do. Though we had all the information, and advice from the best doctors, it was a bit overwhelming to put it into action. But soon we realised that it was going to be a journey of compassion, acceptance, and understanding each other with respect. It strengthened our relationship also that of us and our staff.” Also Read - Mahesh Babu TRUMPS Prabhas and Allu Arjun to become the most loved Tollywood star on social media
Post actor's recovery, the actor resumed the shooting of RRR. “He understands that getting infected with Covid is not to be taken lightly but at the same time the patient should not be treated as a victim; you don't treat those with a cold and cough as a victim. They say that you have to rest after recovering from the infection, but he had an action sequence coming up. For him, his nutrition and rest was important at the time," said the actor's wife.
