Kangana Ranaut had tested positive for Covid-19 in May. The actor shared a video on Instagram where she talks about her experience with Covid-19 and her recovery process. She emphasised that Covid-19 gives a false sense of recovery and people need to rest properly. Sharing her experience of fighting the virus, Kangana said, “I am here to talk about my experience of recovering from coronavirus. Covid-19 is like ‘sardi-zukaam’ – (common cold) as I had told you all earlier, that has been my experience, but while fighting and recovering from Covid, many shocking things happened to me, something I’ve never experienced before. I have always seen that when you are ill, once you start recovering, it is a perpetual journey forward. But, in the case of coronavirus, it is a fake sense of recovery.” (Photo: Kangana Ranaut/Instagram)

Kangana Ranaut also shared a video recently where she is seen 'horseback riding'. (Photo: Kangana Ranaut/Instagram)

Going slow and trusting your body's healing process and giving yourself time . Step by step 🌞." (Photo: Katrina Kaif/Instagram)

Malaika Arora's story has been inspirational too. The actor shared, "What defines strength ? "You're so lucky", "It must have been so easy" is something I hear regularly. Well yes, I am grateful for a lot of things in my life. But luck, played a very small role in it. And easy!? Boy! That, it was not. I tested positive on the 5th of September and it was really bad. Anyone out there calling a COVID recovery easy, is either blessed with great immunity or isn't aware of the struggles of COVID. Having gone through it myself, "Easy" is not the word I'd choose. It broke me physically. Walking 2 steps felt like a herculean task. Sitting up, just stepping out of bed, wanting to stand in my window was a journey in itself. I gained weight, I felt weak, lost my stamina, I was away from my family and more. I finally tested negative on the 26th of September and I was so grateful that I did. But the weakness stayed. I felt disappointed that my body wasn't supporting how my mind felt. I was afraid that I'd never gain back my strength. I wondered whether I'd even be able to complete one activity in 24 hours. My first workout, was brutal. I couldn't do anything well. I felt broken. But Day 2, I got back up and I told myself, I am my own maker. And then day 3 and 4 and 5 and so on. It's been about 32 weeks since I tested negative and I finally have started to feel like myself again. I'm able to workout the way I used to before I tested positive. I'm able to breathe better and I feel strong both physically and mentally. The four letter word that pushed me through was HOPE. The hope that it's all going to be okay, even when it feels like it's not okay. Thank you to all of you who have been sending me messages, DMs and inspiring stuff which kept my spirits high. But I also pray that the world recovers as well and we all come out of this together. I come out of this phase with 2 words. GRIT & GRATITUDE." (Photo: Malaika Arora/Instagram)

This is an extremely important step after recovering from coronavirus. Keep going but make sure you listen to your body. @yogeshfitness #BackInAction #SlowAndSteady #DoItEveryday."
