Malaika Arora is known for sharing motivational posts with fans on her Instagram account and this is something that she has been doing for more than two years. She also shares candid pictures and videos to entertain her social media followers. This time, it was a little different. She shared a long note with fans and told them about the changes she felt after testing positive for Covid-19. She stated, "What defines strength ? You're so lucky", "It must have been so easy" is something I hear regularly. Well yes, I am grateful for a lot of things in my life. But luck, played a very small role in it. And easy!? Boy! That, it was not. I tested positive on the 5th of September and it was really bad. Anyone out there calling a COVID recovery easy, is either blessed with great immunity or isn't aware of the struggles of COVID." [SIC]

She added, "Having gone through it myself, "Easy" is not the word I'd choose. It broke me physically. Walking 2 steps felt like a herculean task. Sitting up, just stepping out of bed, wanting to stand in my window was a journey in itself. I gained weight, I felt weak, lost my stamina, I was away from my family and more." [SIC]

Recently, the actress also revealed few weeks back she started cooking because of her son Arhaan Khan. Malaika was seen on the fourth episode of 'Star Vs Food'. She cooks her all-time favourite comfort food, Malabar fish curry, for her close ones including sister Amrita Arora, and friends Preeta Sukhtankar and Sarvesh Shashi. On entering the kitchen, Chef Prateek Sadhu asks her how she planned to cook in the kitchen in stilettos.

Malaika replied: "If I had a choice, I would sleep in stilettos. I have already thought two steps ahead of you, I am a mom, so I am always well prepared. So, I have come with comfy shoes and I am fully prepared."

She added: "I really look forward to days like this because it has all my passion in it, which is spending time with my near and dear ones, my dear friends, cooking, learning something that I don't know, meeting new people, raiding a kitchen."

On how often she cooks, Malaika said: "Whenever I get the time. My son loves it actually, he likes. I actually started cooking because of him."
