Actress Mahekka Chahal, who acted ‘Naagin 6’, came now to her home after hospitalization last week with chest pain. The actress shared in detail about cough and cold led to lung infection and pneumonia.
Mahekk told Media: “I was basically traveling a lot in December. I went to the US and was having a slight cold and cough. I just took it casually and then after coming back, I went to Delhi and despite having a cold and cough, I just kept traveling, went to Jaipur and then again back to Mumbai. I started shooting for my show ‘Naagin’. I was taking warm water and Vitamin C, which we usually take but never realised the seriousness of my deteriorating health.”
The actress, who emerged as the winner of ‘Bigg Boss 5’ and also participated in the action-based reality show ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 11’, revealed further how things became worse for her in January.
She, in fact, shared a video also on her Instagram handle where she talked about her health and mentioned that never takes cough and cold light.
She added: “In January I started having pain in my chest, although normally in such a situation you feel pain in your throat, I felt in my chest. My oxygen level went extremely down and all the symptoms were quite similar to Covid. I collapsed and was rushed to the hospital where the doctor asked me to undergo a CT scan immediately.”
The actress continued to recall how both of her lungs got infected: “Then it came out that both my lungs were infected with pneumonia. And the doctor is like you will have to get oxygen because you’re not able to breathe properly until I don’t put you on some medication for your chest, it won’t go. And then after that, I was in the hospital for more than a week.”
“After nine or ten days I’m back, my mom is taking care of me and it will take time for me to recover,” she concluded.
