The wrath of COVID-19 has unleashed itself indeed where more and more entertainment celebrities have been contracted with the virus already. Also belonging to this unfortunate list has been actors and couple, Eijaz Khan and Pavitra Punia. The couple tested positive for the virus two days apart and needless to say, they took care of each other as they quarantined together.

Talking about it with ETimes TV, Punia said, “I had events lined up back-to-back. Eijaz and I were travelling together to cities like Goa, Delhi and Baroda. I fell sick soon after I came back to Mumbai after finishing my work commitments. I had a high fever on January 1 and 2. The symptoms were severe and I underwent a test, which came positive on January 3. I always thought that I must have been infected during the first two waves. But I have been proved wrong. Only those infected can vouch for the pain they go through. The pain is too severe to endure. I still feel a lot of weakness and pain in my body, especially the joints.”

Talking about Khan, she said, “Eijaz hasn’t been well since Christmas. He had the flu. I took care of him then. When I tested positive, he took care of me for three days till my reports came positive. After two days, Eijaz, too, started showing symptoms of COVID.”

She concluded saying, “Unfortunately, my rakhi brother, who was in Mumbai then, was also positive. So, while he was quarantined at my place, Eijaz and I were quarantined at his residence. We feel blessed that we have tested negative.”

While Punia tested for the virus first on 3rd January 2022, Khan tested two days later.
