Read full story: Exclusive! Amyra Dastur on her COVID-19 battle: I couldn’t move for three days
Over the last one and a half year, many celebrities have contracted the deadly coronavirus. While the ones who had been shooting in proximity with teams full of people had shared that they tested COVID-19 positive as a precaution, some battled it in silence. Actress Amyra Dastur comes in the latter category. It seems she contracted the virus during dress rehearsals with her stylist. The 'Kung Fu Yoga' actress has revealed that she tested COVID-19 positive last year post the lockdown and opened up about her battle with the virus in a candid conversation. Talking about her ordeal, she says, 'I was doing trials with my stylist, and was three days into it, when she tested positive for COVID-19. Soon, I developed a slight fever and tested positive, too. I quarantined myself immediately in the house where I was living alone. For the first three days, I was completely down. I couldn’t move and that was the scariest thing. I was in so much pain as my joints and body ached. After the third day, I began feeling a little better. Once the 14-day quarantine period was over and I tested negative, I resumed shooting.' Furthermore, she divulged how she spent those two weeks in isolation. She said, 'The only two things that kept me sane were my fixation for cleanliness and spending time reading scripts. My mom would send dabbas of food with my driver, who would leave it in the elevator of my building. I would pick the dabbas once the elevator reached my floor.' Now, ever since she got better and back on her feet, she has been helping her father, a frontline worker, a former surgeon, in whatever little capacity she can. She reveals, 'With free time on hand, I prioritised helping my father with his work. Last year, as his secretary couldn’t travel to work, I took up a few of her responsibilities. I would visit him at the hospital. He would get worried about me and see to it that I don’t visit the COVID ward. A big social media buff that I am, I took up the responsibility of sprucing up the hospital’s social media. I would give him some ideas to shoot in the hospital with the doctors. It was a great experience to spend time with the medical staff, and listen to their stories.' For the unversed, now with shoots being stalled again, Amyra is helping her father connect with NGOs and charitable organisations.
