Deepika Padukone opens up on ‘difficult’ Covid-19 battle: ‘I was unrecognisable, my mind wasn’t working’

Deepika Padukone was among the several people who contracted Covid-19 during the second wave last year. The actor and her family–including father Prakash, mother Ujjala, and sister Anisha–all tested positive in April 2021. In a recent interaction, Deepika opened up on how the illness made her ‘physically unrecognisable’.

Even though she managed to recover from Covid-19 in a few weeks, Deepika took a two-month break before resuming work. The actor has now admitted it was because her ‘mind wasn’t working’ and that it was a ‘very, very difficult phase’ for her.

In a recent interview with Film Companion, Deepika shared how Covid-19 affected her physically. “Life after Covid changed for me because physically, I was unrecognisable completely… I think (due to) the medication I was given, the steroids that I was put on. So Covid in itself was weird, your body feels different, your mind feels different,” she said.

The actor added that it wasn’t the disease that affected her the most, but the aftermath of it, which forced her to take a small vacation. She added: “I think it’s okay when I’m sick, but after that, I need to take two months off because my brain isn’t working. It’s a very, very difficult stage for me.”

Deepika is currently gearing up for her next release Gehraiyaan, which is directed by Shakun Batra. The film, which also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, and Dhairya Karwa, is set to release on Amazon Prime Video on February 11. 

Speaking of the film, director Shakun Batra said in a statement: “For me, Gehraiyaan is more than a film. It is a journey into complex relationships, a mirror to understand modern adult relationships, Learn how we navigate the maze of feelings and emotions, and how every step and decision we make affects our lives and the lives of those around us.”

Sonakshi takes saiyyan Zaheer to bhaiya Kapil Sharma’s show; Shatrughan Sinha joins them as ‘bhola bhala aadmi’

This weekend, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal will grace Kapil Sharma’s show with Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha for a family special episode

Back in May this year, Sonakshi Sinha made an appearance on Kapil Sharma’s comedy show to promote her web series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. The actor was joined by her co-stars Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal. During this episode, Kapil told Sonakshi that her fellow Bollywood divas Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani are now married. Hearing this, Sonakshi claimed that Kapil is rubbing salt in her wounds because he knows how eager she is to get married. Sonkashi’s wish was granted a month later when she tied the knot with Zaheer Iqbal. Well, she is now returning to Kapil’s show, this time with her husband.

In the trailer of the upcoming episode, Sonakshi introduces Zaheer to Kapil in a hilarious way. She claims that anyone who wants to get married should come to Kapil’s show and call him ‘bhaiya’. Gesturing at Zaheer, Sonakshi then tells Kapil, “Bhaiya, meet my saiyyan.” Well, things get even more fun when Sonakshi’s superstar father Shatrughan Sinha joins them along with her mother Poonam Sinha. This is the first time the entire Sinha family and their new son-in-law have appeared together on national television. At the end of this trailer, Shatrughan describes himself as ‘bhola bhala, shareef aadmi’. But Poonam leaves everyone in splits when she replies, “Mujhse poocho.”

In another fun bit, Shatrughan reveals how Dharmendra once told him to always be ‘a one woman man, at a time’. Well, fans can’t keep calm and are now expressing their excitement in the comment section below. For instance, one social media user gushed, “So happy they’re gonna be on the show! ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” whereas another Sonakshi-Zaheer fan claimed, “This episode is a slap to people who were saying that Shatrughan was not happy with Sonakshi and Zaheer’s marriage.”
