Last week, actor Aishwarya Sakhuja was admitted in a Mumbai hospital after she had a minor surgery. When her fans and well-wishers grew concerned, she explained it was a non-Covid related hospital visit. Talking about it, she reveals, “I had a minor surgery and was hospitalised. It was nothing big. The body is a machine and needs to be serviced every now and then. Ironically, we no longer feel safe in a hospital, such are the times. But thankfully, it was a non-Covid hospital.”

She admits that the current Coronavirus situation is affecting her and has also gotten her to a state of paranoia. While the numbers in Maharashtra are looking better, the actor cautions everyone that the virus threat still looms at large. “This pandemic has changed my perspective towards life in a good way. Every day, I thank God for keeping me and my family safe from this ridiculous virus. I am glad I didn’t have to bother Sonu Sood for arranging oxygen,” she quips.

Sakhuja was shooting in Goa for her daily TV show but had returned to Mumbai after her family was concerned for her health as she has Type 1 Diabetes. Leaving work behind she admits has to be her “most difficult decision” but it had to be done. “I have two sets of parents, one in Mumbai and one in Australia. They were worried about my well being. Stress at any age is not good, hence I decided to take this step and bring some peace to my parents and in-laws. I have major FOMO and I am in touch with all my co-actors from the unit. I hope to be jabbed soon so that I can resume the show.”
