In her first post, the actress was candid enough to reveal she put on some 7 kg in her Covid recovery phase which made her feel uncomfortable and low on confidence. She added she found it hard to get back to her usual 50 but couldn't. She continues to keep up with her running and yoga routine. In her latest post, Rubina slammed trolls for their hate messages about her physical appearance.

In October, Hina Khan, who lost her father earlier this year and got infected with Covid-19, talked about prioritizing her mental health over physical health. She shared that she put on kilos 'for obvious reasons' in a post on social media. She added, "My mental health was way more important and I just wanted to be, wanted to do things that make me happy. Sometimes let yourself be, enjoy the little things, do what you like without thinking much about what people will say or how I am looking. After all, one needs to be in the right frame of mind to do anything in life. And I chose mental health, my well-being over my physical appearance. Now here I am, back in action." The actress, who is a fitness freak, is now back to her usual workouts. (Photo: Instagram)

Ishqbaaz fame Shrenu Parikh tested Covid-19 positive in July last year. She gained weight which was also highlighted by her fans. The actress, however, couldn't be bothered less. She told TOI she was not in any rush to lose weight as there were chances of a relapse. Cut to August 2020, she began with her weight loss journey. She said, "I started with yoga and basic workout sessions. In September, I travelled to Mumbai for an ad shoot and that is when I started working out regularly. I started with my online classes, which included high-intensity workout sessions including aerobics and Zumba. Working out for about an hour daily works fine for my body. I also try to go for an evening walk whenever I can. I also took a lot of care about my diet. While I just love sweets, I have really cut down on my sugar intake. I think that has taken care of a lot of health issues and I also had immunity boosters. Today, I feel happy to be back to my fit self." (Photo: Instagram)

While Arshi Khan did not talk about weight gain, the actress shared how her weakness led her to adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet post recovery. She shared with us, " "I'm making sure I consume a lot of fresh fruits and juices. I also consume our desi kadha, I prepare that by listening to my mom over the phone. I also depend on warm, soft foods and supplements. I make sure that the timing of fluid consumption should be in between meals and not with the meal." (Photo: Instagram)
