Shilpa Shirodkar Diagnosed with COVID-19 After Battling High Fever for Five Days: ‘Stay Safe and Wear Your Masks’
Veteran actress and Bigg Boss 18 finalist Shilpa Shirodkar has tested positive for COVID-19. The 90s Bollywood star, who recently won hearts with her appearance on the reality show, took to Instagram on Monday to inform fans about her health condition. In her post, Shilpa shared, “Hello people! I’ve been tested positive for COVID. Stay Safe and wear your masks!” The simple yet urgent message has sparked a wave of concern and well-wishes from fans and friends alike.
Soon after the announcement, her Instagram comments were flooded with heartfelt messages. Fans expressed their concern with notes like “Get well soon,” “Whatt….Ohhh ma’am…plzzz tak care…be careful,” and “My God…. Get well soon.” Fellow Bigg Boss contestant Chum Darang also commented, wishing her a speedy recovery.
Shilpa, who took a 13-year break from the limelight, returned to the screen with the TV show Ek Mutthi Aasmaan in 2013. But it was her recent stint in Bigg Boss 18 that reintroduced her to a new generation of viewers. She quickly became a fan favorite for her authenticity, emotional depth, and close bonds with co-contestants like Karan Veer Mehra and Vivian Dsena.
Notably, her friendship with Karan Veer and Chum Darang continued even after the show, with the trio often seen at get-togethers. Chum recently hosted a warm gathering at her home, attended by Shilpa, Karan, Sandip Sickand, and other close friends.
Shilpa’s time on Bigg Boss also marked a significant personal transformation. In March, she revealed that she had lost 13-14 kgs post-show. Sharing her journey on Instagram, she wrote, “My #Biggboss journey has been about growth, learning, and transformation! Enjoying the new ME!” The post was met with praise and admiration for her dedication to self-improvement.
Earlier this year on Women’s Day, Shilpa posted a touching tribute to the important women in her life—including her sister Namrata Shirodkar, niece Sitara, her late mother, and close friend Chum Darang. Accompanied by a collage of heartfelt memories, she wrote, “Every time I look at them, they inspire me in ways I can’t even imagine. I feel truly blessed that each of these incredible women in my life has instilled in me bits of their courage, confidence, compassion, and immense ability to love.”
As Shilpa recovers from COVID-19, fans across the country are sending their love and strength to the actress. With her enduring charm, honest heart, and strong bonds with her fans and fellow artists, Shilpa Shirodkar remains a beloved figure in the entertainment world.
