MUMBAI: After nearly 18 days, real life couple Neil Bhatt and Aishwarya Sharma, who are seen together in the serial Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, tested negative for COVID-19.
The couple who were living separately in their respective homes talked to us exclusively about how the quarantine period had been for the two of them and how their bond matured more over the last few days....
Talking about her quarantine period, Aishwarya said, "It was quite boring for me. I was sitting at home doing nothing, just taking care of myself. Main chaar deewari mein qaid ho gayi thi akele.I stay alone at home. Thankfully, most part of the day, Neil and I were on video calls on.".
Neil expressed, "For me this quarantine period was not about chilling. I didn't want to watch any films or web series. I was doing several breathing exercises daily. I was back on track after three days only but I was still not taking it lightly. More so because mentally I am more like an army person. I followed my regimen diligently.".
The couple played Holi after testing negative.
Opening up about being each other's pillars of strength amid the hours of crisis, Aishwarya said, "I actually had a very strong support system all this while. Neil was there to guide me about what to do and what not to do. Neil physically na ho ke bhi mere saath hamesha tha.".
Neil added, "I am really happy that Aishwarya is saying this and acknowledges this. I love her even more for this. I was just there for her, at all times, all these days. She was all alone at home. Had I not tested positive, I would have gone to her house to give whatever she required, perhaps. The least I could do for her was to be in touch with her continuously.".

Revealing about who panicked the most, Aishwarya said, "I think Neil more (laughs out loud). But yes, he was following everything that was told to him by the doctors and in fact he was telling me too all the time what needs to be done. I was active on social media also, while Neil is otherwise also not active. He was panicky in the sense that he wanted to get rid of this Corona thing and get back to work as soon as possible.".
After testing negative, the couple has resumed shooting.
Talking about the first thing they did on meeting each other post testing negative, Aishwarya revealed, "After my test came out negative, I came straight to the set and hugged Neil for at least six-seven minutes. It was a long hug. I was so happy and emotional to see him.".
To this, Neil expressed, "The realization that our bond has grown stronger over these few days happened when we met each other for the first time after the quarantine. I came on the set first and then she came. That hug made us realize that we were growing closer to each other during this time.".
