Pooja Bedi has tested positive for COVID-19. The actress took to Instagram to share her health update through a self-shot video.

Currently under quarantine, Pooja revealed it was her personal decision to stay unvaccinated and allow her natural immunity and alternative healing to accelerate her healing.

"I have finally been diagnosed as COVID positive. I chose/choose to stay unvaccinated as it's my personal decision to allow my own natural immunity and alternative healing and wellness practices to accelerate my healing. You do what's right for you. Each to their own. Caution. not panic," Pooja Bedi wrote.

Pooja also said that she is optimistic she will recover soon. "We are now focusing on getting better, stronger. Hopefully, we will be over this in a couple of days. It's a great way for me to relax, take it easy. I was working on long, hard schedules for months and maybe this is God's way of telling me to slow down and take it easy," she said.

In August, Pooja Bedi had slammed the vaccination drive for all, including people with no comorbidities, calling it "illogical and sinister".

"If 99 percent survive COVID with or without the vaccine the government needs to focus on isolating, vaccinating and masking those who have comorbidities and are in the risk bracket. Not vaccinate the whole world and certainly not discriminate against the unvaccinated! It's illogical and sinister!" she had tweeted.

If 99% survive covid with or without the vaccine.. the govt needs to focus on isolating, vaccinating & masking THOSE who have COMBORBITIES & are in the risk bracket.
NOT VACCINATE the whole world!
& certainly not discriminate against unvaccinated! It's illogical & Sinister!

Pooja had also travelled to Goa during the peak of the pandemic, in April 2020, and tweeted about her experience with border control and COVID-19 testing, along with the condition of the quarantine facility. "Drove back with fiance Maneck to our home in #Goa. (He's Goan. My home, car & business are all goa registered) The entire process of border control/ #COVID19 testing & the condition of the quarantine facility was an experience that simply CANNOT become an acceptable way of life,” she had tweeted.
