Shikha told Viral, “Just after a month after my debut film release lockdown got announced and without a single thought I wore my white uniform and joined Covid ICU in BMC Hospital, Mumbai. I never got scared of touching any patient. Soon I got promoted to a patient councillor as well. After working in covid ICU, I use to counsel the patients by visiting every ward.”

“After working for about a year, I got covid and while recovering I got a brain stroke. Got right-side paralysis. During my recovery, I could not even think of getting back to my acting profession. As I got swelled due to steroids. After 2 years of recovery in 2021 and 2022, I decided not to give up myself and geared up to meet myself once again. I never shared my bikini pics on social media before but my transformation was about life and death.”
Indeed Sikha’s journey from ‘Hell and back’ will continue to inspire those who are pulled back by any constraints.
