New Delhi: The lockdown situation in the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic is giving tough times to many including veteran Bollywood actress Nafisa Ali Sodhi who is also a cancer survivor. The actress, who is still remembered as Amitabh Bachchan’s wife in ‘Major Sahab,’ is currently in Goa and reveals that she doesn’t have access to basic food and medicines due to the novel Coronavirus outbreak.

While talking to Hindustan Times the 63-year-old told, “The groceries shops are shut for the last six days. I’m a cancer survivor; I need to eat proper food. I’ve been eating just dry ration for the past many days — there are no vegetable, no fruits. We’re so cut off. I’m in Morjim and people here are having a terrible time. It’s only in Panjim that the situation is fine. My heart goes out to everyone.”



Nafisa added that she and her daughter’s family had plans to stay in Goa only for 10 days when they arrived early in March from Delhi but they had to extend the trip because of the lockdown. And now the situation has left her in a situation where she has almost run out of her medicines.

“My medicines are finishing. The courier services are not working so I can’t have them delivered from elsewhere. So what option so I have now? I’m not taking any medicines, which is not good for my health,” she said, adding that those medicines aren’t available in local medicine shops in Morjim and she can’t even go to Panjim to get it.

Sodhi also shared that her niece, has been tested positive for Covid-19 in Bangalore.

“She came back from Switzerland and got herself checked and it was positive. She was in the hospital and has now recovered completely.” Nafisa added.
