Covid -19 is nothing but a small time flu, says Kangana Ranaut after testing positive for virus
Mumbai: Bollywood Actor Kangana Ranaut has termed Covid-19 a ‘small time flu’ after she tested positive for the virus.
Taking to Instagram, the 34-years old actor shared that she got herself tested after experiencing mild symptoms.
"I was feeling tired and weak with slight burning sensation in my eyes for past few days, was hoping to go to Himachal so got my test done yesterday and today the result came I am covid positive,” the actress shared adding,
"I have quarantined myself, I had no idea this virus is having a party in my body, now that I know I will demolish it, people please don’t give anything any power over you, if you are scared it will scare you more, come let’s destroy this Covid -19 it is nothing but a small time flu which got too much press and now psyching few people. Har Har Mahadev."
Kangana was recently banned from the social media platform Twitter, after she posted a series of tweets that were found to be in violation of the platform's hate speech policy.
India’s current Covid wave has taken on frightening proportions, driven in part by a new variant of the virus which has double mutations. Earlier this week, India overtook Brazil as the country with the second-highest number of cases in the world, behind the USA. Experts are concerned that given the low testing rate, India possibly has higher number of cases than either US or Brazil.
On Tuesday the country record 4,187 deaths and 4.01 Lakh new cases. Real numbers could be much higher, with crematoriums and graveyards both running out of space across the country.
