Model-actor Milind Soman had tested positive for COVID-19 a few weeks back. He has now recovered and is doing well. However, his diagnosis came as a shock for some who wondered how he contracted the virus despite leading a healthy and active lifestyle. Soman decided to answer the question through his Instagram feed.

Milind Soman said that fitness can help you deal with the virus but can't stop you from getting infected. “A friend of mine died yesterday from covid 19 complications. It was quite a shock. He was around 40 with a young child. People still ask me how I got infected if I am so fit. Fitness and health, if good, will help you deal with the virus so that you are not sick, but can't stop you from getting infected. Anybody can get infected. Not everybody infected will get sick. People ask me why I talk about health so much when some people don't have food to eat. I say if you don't have health, nothing else matters very much. Health is seldom a question of time or money," he wrote on Instagram.

“Most of the infections and hospitalizations in the second wave are from high rises, not slums. To be healthy you need to be aware. And you need to make at least 10% of the effort you put into your job. Or your social life. Take care. Stay safe,” he added.
