The talented actress, who played the role of Ragini Malhotra in Star Plus’ ‘Ishqbaaaz’, revealed that she isolated herself in her room after she started showing COVID-19 symptoms. Additi, while talking to an entertainment portal, said that she got herself tested for the virus after she lost her smelling sense. “The moment I lost my smelling sense I quarantined myself and got tested. The reports came out positive and I chose to quarantine myself at home since I was an asymptomatic. It’s been 7 to 8 days that I have confined myself in a room,” Additi told Tellychakkar. The ‘Qubool Hai’ actress further revealed that she will quarantine herself for the next 10 days. She said that her husband Kabir Chopra and her family members are supporting her during the quarantined phase. “I have great support of my husband, family and friends. They are constantly keeping a check on me. Now, I have partially got my smelling sense back. I will quarantine myself for the next 10 more days. I am eating well and taking proper medication. I would like to say don’t panic but honestly it is not really a great thing to have. I was a bit stressed initially but with the proper medication and positive approach you will be fine,” she told the portal.
