'Fatigue factor is real': Arjun Kapoor opens up on battling coronavirus

Arjun Kapoor was amongst the Bollywood celebrities who were tested positive for coronavirus. The actor informed his fans about the diagnosis on September 6, 2020, and on October 7, 2020, almost a month later he revealed that he is COVID-19 free. Currently, Arjun has headed to Himachal Pradesh where he has kickstarted the shoot of Bhoot Police co-starring Saif Ali Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Yami Gautam. Now, during an interaction with Mid Day, Arjun spoke at length about his COVID-19 experience.

The actor told the tabloid, "I was diagnosed positive on a Sunday. I remember waking up the next day with a slight fever, body ache, and was feeling fatigued while using the washroom. By Wednesday, it felt like a regular viral and the fever had subsided, but I felt sluggish and tired through the rest of the week. Emotionally, the recuperation is unique because nobody knows how to go about it."

Arjun further shared, "Even today, I am careful because the doctors have advised me to take it one day at a time. I don't know how badly my lungs were affected, or how much of my stamina is affected, except that every once in awhile, I feel like someone who has recovered from a virus because the fatigue factor is real. I am young, but the senior family members might not be able to cope with this as easily we can."

Kapoor concluded by stating, "I am fortunate that I had strong support from my family and that I had a house where I could live in isolation. I am grateful because not many people have that."
