Shikha recovered a bit last month and decided to take a short break. She added: “I was feeling a little better, so for my birthday, February 7, we went on holiday to Nairobi. Unfortunately, I got sick there and had to be hospitalized. Since we returned home, I have rested. My husband Karan (Shah) is a pilot, so he has to keep traveling.”
She admits that health problems have affected her mental state. She said: ‘I felt helpless because the doctors couldn’t figure out what was causing the acid reflux and why I couldn’t eat my normal food. Before, I didn’t want to post about my health issues, but when you live in a big city and feel lonely at home, you want people to contact you. My daughter, Alayna, comes to me every day and asks, ‘Mumma kya hua hai?’ I saw her face and felt so bad. I want to get well soon. I think many people are experiencing health problems after the pandemic and we have to love and support each other.”
Sharing about the life of an actor who is not as perfect as on social networks, she added: “On social networks, an actor only posts about the good life. It’s not all about the glitz and glamor and beautiful holidays, we also have to go through tough times. I want people to know about his situation in my life. I hope that the medicine works and that I recover soon and can return to my normal life.”
