Mumbai, India (CU)_ Sameera Reddy has revealed in Instagram that she tested positive to COVID-19. The actress said in her post that she is taking necessary precautions for her and the family. She wrote, “I tested positive yesterday. We are safe and taking necessary precautions…”. She also informed that Manjri Varde, Sameera’s mother-in-law, is staying away from them and is doing fine. She wrote, “…Sassy saasu by the grace of God has been living separately and is safe.” Sameera also said, “…We will be in home quarantine and will continue to be our positive upbeat selves (sic).”
Sameera detailed about her kids’ health condition. She wrote, “Lots of people asking me about Hans and Nyra…so here is the update…The past week Hans had high fevers, headaches, body ache, upset tummy and severe fatigue. It lasted for 4 days. It was very unusual. So, we tested him, and he was COVID-positive. I have to admit, initially, I did feel complete panic because however much you think you are prepared, you just never completely are for something like this…(sic).”
Sameera also spoke about her little daughter Nyra and her battle with COVID-19. She wrote, “Immediately Nyra started showing symptoms. She had a fever and upset tummy. I gave her a cold compress and paracetamol on SoS. The most important thing is to be aware that the second wave is affecting many children, but doctors believe that it has mild symptoms in most cases. Doctors are also recommending vitamin C, multivitamins. A probiotic and zinc (please check with your doctor).”
Sameera’s husband, Akshai Varde, also tested COVID-positive. After their children contracted COVID-19, the couple also tested positive for the virus. She wrote, “Akshai and I tested positive soon after the kids. We have started the medications, steam inhalation, saltwater gargles, breathing exercises, pranayama, and eating wholesome meals and are diligently following our doctor’s recommendations. This is the time to be smart and focus on what helps. Not negative. Not fearful. Just be alerted. to protect yourself and others. We have to be mindful of this. It is the only way. I will continue to make my happy content because positivity is my biggest strength right now. Stay strong. Stay safe”.
Manjri Varde, Sameera’s mother-in-law, commented on Sameera’s post. Manjri said that she is staying away from the family and that she misses her entire family and the kids. She wrote, “Isolated! Missing all my babies. But they are all brave and are fighting this pandemic. So, love and strength and patience and healing to them. And everyone who is affected too. This is the time to stay away, stay safe and stay aware.”
Sameera also said that she has gone to great lengths to ensure that her children are at ease. She wrote that both Hans and Nyra are in good health and good spirits. She posted, “I’ve done everything to make them comfortable and both are in great spirits and back to being in masti mode. It’s important to remember that even though your kids might get asymptomatic in a few days, they still have to be isolated from people who haven’t been affected for 14 days to make sure it is not transmitted”.
However, Manjri Varde, Sameera’s mother-in-law, had tested negative for COVID-19. Sameera wrote about her mother-in-health law’s update, saying, “Luckily my mother-in-law was not exposed and is living separately. She has tested negative.”
Sameera expressed confidence to battle the virus. She wrote, “I know I have you lovely peeps to put a smile on my face. This is the time to be strong with positive affirmations. We are all in this together. Stay safe.” Sameera Reddy married entrepreneur Akshai Varde in 2014. Son Hans was born in 2015, and daughter Nyra was born in 2019.
