In an interview with Navbharat Times, Shikha Malhotra disclosed her painful ordeal and how she is dealing with it. "I was shifted from Cooper Hospital to KEM by BMC Commissioner Chandra Shekhar. Currently, I am undergoing treatment at the KEM Hospital under the supervision of renowned Neurologist Nitin Dange. I am extremely grateful to the Government of Maharashtra, who took care of me very well", Shikha said.
The actress, who worked as a Nurse and stepped up as a COVID warrior and helped medical staff in crisis, in an open letter shared with Navbharat Times.com revealed, "My health is improving but the process is slow. My right side is numb, there is no sensation. It will be too early to say when I shall be able to stand on my feet and walk again."
