Mahekk Chahal, a Bollywood television actress last seen in Naagin 6, recently updated her fans on her health after rumors of her hospitalization began to circulate. Mahek was identified as having pneumonia. It was previously stated that she had been admitted to a neighboring hospital. The actress claimed in a video she posted on social media that she neglected her usual cold-like symptoms, which worsened the disease.
Mahekk Chahal shared a video on Instagram to reassure her admirers that she is recovering. The actress was seen in the video drifting off a bed and stating, “I am fine and much better. I got pneumonia because I think I ignored a cold because I was traveling a lot. I was in Chicago and later in Delhi. It was very cold. I just thought it was a normal cold cough. It turns out it was pneumonia. I just ignored it because I was working.”
The actress continued by urging her followers to get checked out in case the cold-like symptoms develop into something more dangerous and to stop ignoring specific symptoms. “ So if you have pain in the chest while breathing or coughing, go to the doctor and please get it checked, so that you don't end up in the hospital like me,” she added.
For the uninitiated, a report in the Hindustan Times stated that Mahekk Chahal was in the ICU due to her health. She had been quoted as saying, “I was in the ICU for 3-4 days. I was on an oxygen ventilator. I just collapsed on January 2 and it was like knives in my chest. I couldn’t take a single breath. I was rushed to the hospital and admitted immediately. A CT scan was taken. I’m still hospitalized, it’s been eight days, though I’m in the normal ward. I have improved a lot, (but) the oxygen still goes up and down. Both my lungs were infected.”
