TV actor
Mohena Kumari, who was recently tested positive for coronavirus, has returned
home. ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ actor has
now opened up on how the isolation during the recovery period has affected her
mental health. Along with her, six other family members, including her husband
Suyesh Rawat, had tested positive for coronavirus.

Sharing her own experience, Mohena told
Pinkvilla, “On
the 9th or 10th day, it was getting too much. What really helped was my
husband. I had a lot of anxiety on those days but I just held his hands and
stood and took positive energy from him.”

“Be selfless
instead of being selfish. That’s what we all did. We put our stress into taking
care of our people. We used to just peak from our doors and just ask each other
if we are fine. It was not to break rules or anything. You get low, you are
going to get low at some point, everybody will get into depression zone, but
you have identified that. What happens with depression is that it is like the
black hole which sucks you in. It is your prerogative to get out of it. You can
only do it by realizing you are getting sucked,” she added.

She
emphasized the importance of communication and urged people to open up about
their feeling. She said, “Also, communication is important because keeping.
Everybody is different. If you keep things within you, you become a heavy
person and keep suppressing. You need to keep energies going.”

Earlier, the
31-year-old actor posted a video on Instagram. “This is my 6th day in the
hospital at Rishikesh. It doesn’t feel bad physically that much, but it affects
you mentally more. To know you have virus inside you is not a very good
feeling. It’s a very bad feeling,” she captioned it.

A few days later, after returning home from
hospital despite being positive, Mohena posted an Instagram story that read, “Hi
everyone ! I’m back home… but we are still covid-19 positive. We are in
complete isolation. We don’t know how long it will take to get the negative
test. We were in the hospital for 10 days and I probably had the virus in my
body 5 days before that… so hopefully a few more days and We will hopefully
beat the virus. But till then we have to follow extremely strict rules.
Nonetheless We are all feeling much better health wise and in the mind too.
Thanks for all the support once again.”
