Khan spoke freely and wholeheartedly about her diagnosis and on Covid from her room where she is quarantining along. The actor laughed and smiled, signaling she’s perhaps not feeling too bad. Of her own symptoms she said she’s feeling fatigue, and that’s about it.
The actor noted that Eid is coming, and we must be careful. She urged people to observe SOPs and take care of themselves and their loved one. It’s going to go away soon, it’s only a question of a year, we need to buckle up and breeze through were her lessons.
