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.”

Amitabh Bachchan: Shocking Fan Incident Outside Jalsa

Amitabh Bachchan Fan Faints After Hours of Torturous Waiting

The weekly Sunday rite outside the renowned gates of Jalsa is nothing short of profoundly holy. For decades, thousands of deeply moved admirers have gathered like clockwork, hoping for a single glimpse of the iconic megastar.

Yesterday evening, that fierce commitment took a scary and sad turn. A middle-aged guy, who had been standing patiently in the scorching midday sun for more than four hours, collapsed unexpectedly.

He collapsed totally into profound sleep, landing directly on the harsh, unforgiving asphalt road. The happy, chanting crowd fell silent in an instant as reality hit in.

A Heartbreaking Moment of Desperation

According to eyewitnesses, this enthusiast travelled across various states for a two-minute glimpse of his idol. His quivering hands clutched a framed vintage photograph of the superstar.

As the searing midday heat reached its zenith, acute dehydration and utter physical fatigue overtook his body. His feeble knees bowed under the crushing weight of his never-ending, frantic wait.

He fell face first to the ground before anyone could react or grab him. The enormous crowd’s collective, frightened gasp boomed over Juhu’s normally peaceful suburban streets.


Sudden Chaos Outside Jalsa’s Gates

Within seconds, total fear spread among the observers. Fellow supporters quickly dropped their homemade banners and posters, coming to the fallen man’s rescue. Someone desperately sprayed cold water upon his pale, sweating face.

The large security crew stationed outside Amitabh Bachchan’s home acted quickly. They were able to remove the rising, panicked crowd, allowing the choking sufferer to breathe easier.

An emergency ambulance was dispatched immediately, while local volunteers attempted to revive him. In a few startling moments, the atmosphere went from exhilarating exhilaration to total horror.


The Relentless Sunday Evening Madness

Every Sunday evening, the veteran actor gracefully goes onto a high podium at his grand gates. It is a renowned custom that has completely defined Bollywood fan culture over generations.

Passionate admirers will miss meals, risk heavy monsoons, and suffer harsh summer heat waves only to see him wave. It is a profound, emotional bond that defies all reasonable logic.

For this heartbreakingly loyal admirer, the powerful emotional rush combined with severe physical tiredness proved to be a highly perilous, almost lethal combination on the boiling, sweltering concrete.

Security Personnel Scramble to Prevent Tragedy

Local police officers responded promptly to the chaotic scene, attempting to manage the emotionally charged throng. Medical staff administered quick, vital first aid on the scene, examining his critically weak and decreasing pulse.

The comatose man was gingerly put onto a canvas stretcher, still clutching his prized, sweat-soaked image of the actor. He was sent to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

On-duty medics eventually confirmed that he had severe heatstroke and acute, life-threatening dehydration. Fortunately, his medical condition improved after he received repeated IV infusions and intensive, appropriate care.


A Stark Warning for Star-Worshippers

This terrible, tragic episode has generated a heated, much-needed debate about the extreme limits of celebrity worship in India. Blind passion should never result in the death of an innocent person.

Jalsa is an undisputed historical monument to love, but yesterday it served as a grim, sobering lesson. Extreme physical endurance for a brief moment can easily result in a catastrophic medical tragedy.

As thousands of passionate individuals continue to flow to Mumbai every day, the fine line between beautiful appreciation and life-threatening devotion becomes increasingly, dangerously blurred for these fragile worshippers.


Terrifying Boundaries of Human Obsession

The burning passion that motivates these ordinary folks to risk their own health is both wonderful and scary. It emphasises the megastar’s immense, godlike influence over millions of hearts.

While the legendary actor continues to express love to his devoted fans, this dangerous occurrence demonstrates that safety should always come first. No fan should have to bleed or faint on the street in order to catch a passing shadow.
