As the second wave of the pandemic eases its grip with Covid-19 cases on a decline, people are heaving a sigh of relief. However, actor Neena Gupta is still anxious as she feels that one should not let their guard down just yet. Currently in Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand, with her husband VivekMehra, she says that even after getting vaccinated, she’s being very cautious.
“I keep hearing that people got Covid even after vaccination but I keep telling myself that even if I get it, I’ll get a milder infection. I tell myself to be positive. But when I go out and even for walks, I wear my masks at all times. I’m not so relieved even after my two vaccine doses,” the Mulk and Badhaai Ho (both 2018) actor shares.
Gupta, 66, shares the last couple of months haven’t been easy for her and she even fell sick because of the stress.
“I started having stomach issues. It was very troublesome. I called my doctor and he asked me if I was tensed because stress affects your digestive system. And I said I wasn’t because everything is okay here... my daughter and my husband are here with me,” shares the actor, quick to confess, “But then I realized that I’ve been sad because when I read things and saw things, the fear that I might get the virus or that someone close to me can die, is still there. That stress continues.”
