Displaying her anti-vaxxer behaviour, Pooja Bedi has become a target of trolls various times in the past. When thousands of people were dying because of Covid-19, she was flaunting her privilege and saying that life is not supposed to be lived caged or masked in the fear of a virus.?
Now, the actress has tested positive for Covid-19. Revealing the same, she informed via an Instagram video that her businessman-fiance Maneck Contractor and their house help have also contracted the virus.
"I know I have been vocal about not taking the vaccine. For me, it was a choice that I took. I know that my immunity will naturally rise up and I want to rely on my natural immunity. Each one of you, go make your own choices, this is my chronicled journey".
She added, "We must know that 99% of people who caught coronavirus before the vaccines came out, have survived. And, 99% post the vaccination have also survived. We need caution, not panic. The fact is, we have tools and aids on our side."
She added that she is optimistic that she will recover soon. "We are now focusing on getting better, stronger. Hopefully, we will be over this in a couple of days. It's a great way for me to relax, take it easy. I was working on long, hard schedules for months and maybe this is God's way of telling me to slow down and take it easy".?
