Shikha urged everyone to take proper precautions, and not to take the disease lightly.

In March, IANS had reported how Shikha had taken up nursing for Covid patients. She had shared that she “is currently working as a volunteer at a hospital in Mumbai to fight against coronavirus”.

Incidentally, Shikha has a degree in nursing from Delhi’s Vardhaman Mahavir Medical College and Safrdarjung Hospital.
