As we continue to battle this deadly coronavirus pandemic, when we look around all we can find is negativity and sadness! Adding to this is the passing away of Milind Soman's friend, who lost his life due to COVID-19 complications. The actor wrote a long note on social media as he lost his friend and also advised people on the importance of health. Sharing a picture of his, Milind wrote, 'A friend of mine died yesterday from covid 19 complications. It was quite a shock. He was around 40 with a young child....People still ask me how I got infected if I am so fit. Fitness and health, if good, will help you deal with the virus so that you are not sick, but can't stop you from getting infected. Anybody can get infected. Not everybody infected will get sick....People ask me why I talk about health so much when some people don't have food to eat.' He added, 'I say if you don't have health, nothing else matters very much. Health is seldom a question of time or money. Most of the infections and hospitalizations in the second wave are from high rises, not slums....To be healthy you need to be aware. And you need to make at least 10% of the effort you put into your job. Or your social life....Take care. Stay safe. Om shanti.' After fans came across the actor's enlightening post, they dropped their love and best wishes for him in the comment section. While one user wrote, 'Very well said Sir. Being a covid warrior and ardent follower of yours, I too emphasise on the importance of physical activity. Now it is no longer a transformation or fitness thing but a life saver beside a mask and vaccine', another one wrote, 'Love the message, People often forget how important fitness is.' Milind Soman had also contracted coronavirus in March this year. In a social media post, he mentioned he was unable to trace the source of his infection. He wrote, 'Difficult to say how I got infected or from whom. I had a negative report on the 18th March when I came back from Delhi, was working from home and only went out to run every day, but started feeling a little low energy on 23rd. I also had a mild headache and elevated body temp of 98°.' He had said that he had gotten himself tested for COVID-19 at least 30 times as he had been travelling frequently.
