Monica is currently with her mother in the US, and she and her mom both urged people to not take this lightly. “First thing I would say, please don't take it lightly, always be watchful for the symptoms. This thing could be life-threatening,” her mom said. Monica’s mom contracted the virus in late February, and said, at that time Americans were not even testing for Corona and she was told she has a type of flu. Her mom felt better after taking the medicines for about 5 days. Later, around 21st of May, she started feeling lousy, very high fever, and had no energy. She could not breathe and called for an ambulance after which she was taken to the hospital and quarantined.

After that, Monica and her mom narrated their experience further and stated how painful it was to go through all of it. Towards the end, the actress said, “She said she felt like she went to death's door and returned.”
