<p>Bollywood diva Malaika Arora, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 in September 2020, in a new social media post on Monday, opened up and spoke at length about her recovery experience from the deadly virus, saying it was "not easy".The 47-year-old star took to her Instagram handle and shared a collage of pictures of her toned body. She revealed in the caption that the virus `broke` her physically and that even basic movements like walking felt like a herculean task.<br />
<br />
Malaika, who is a known fitness enthusiast, revealed that by virtue of her reputation, people assumed it must have been easy for her to recover. She wrote, "You`re so lucky", "It must have been so easy" is something I hear regularly. Well yes, I am grateful for a lot of things in my life. But luck played a very small role in it. And easy!? Boy! That, it was not. I tested positive on the 5th of September and it was really bad. Anyone out there calling a COVID recovery easy is either blessed with great immunity or isn`t aware of the struggles of COVID."<br />
<br />
Talking further about her recovery experience, Malaika wrote, "Having gone through it myself, "Easy" is not the word I`d choose. It broke me physically. Walking 2 steps felt like a herculean task. Sitting up, just stepping out of bed, wanting to stand in my window was a journey in itself. I gained weight, I felt weak, lost my stamina, I was away from my family and more. I finally tested negative on the 26th of September and I was so grateful that I did. But the weakness stayed."Malaika said that she felt weak even after recovering and that working out was quite a struggle for her</p>

<p>''I felt disappointed that my body wasn`t supporting how my mind felt. I was afraid that I`d never gain back my strength. I wondered whether I`d even be able to complete one activity in 24 hours. My first workout, was brutal. I couldn`t do anything well. I felt broken. But Day 2, I got back up and I told myself, I am my own maker. And then day 3 and 4 and 5 and so on."Eight months since her recovery, Malaika said that she is finally feeling like herself, "It`s been about 32 weeks since I tested negative and I finally have started to feel like myself again. I`m able to workout the way I used to before I tested positive. I`m able to breathe better and I feel strong both physically and mentally."</p>
