The actress told Curly Tales that she is not very finicky about sharing food and eating from the same cutlery.

“I can eat jootha (shared food) with people who I know and I’m really close to and that’s how I got Covid,” she said as she burst into laughter.

“So I’m gonna ride this tide, rest it out and resume work soon. Till then, I’m reading all the warm wishes and they seem to be working. Be safe guys, the pandemic hasn’t gone yet.”

The actress earlier told IANS that she was in a meeting at her house when she started getting the calls and was completely unaware about her Best Actress win.

She told IANS: “I couldn’t understand what was going on. I usually don’t step outside the meetings to take calls but this time I had to, and that’s when I really got to know the news.

“I was so elated and emotional that I had to pause the meeting and run down to give my parents a hug and tell them the news and then everybody was really emotional. It’s a moment that I will never ever forget in my life.”
