Popular Tamil actor Vishal on Sunday opened up about his experience of dealing with the coronavirus after he and his father tested positive a couple of weeks ago.
In a four-minute video that the actor shared on Twitter, he spoke abut how the two of them recovered completely with the help of ayurvedic medicine. He also clarified that he was not endorsing ayurvedic medicine as the best option to cure those affected by the virus.
“When my father tested positive, I looked after him staying by his side. I didn’t take him to any hospital and looked after him at home. By attending to him, I also eventually tested positive. We took ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines and fully recovered in about seven days. I’m not trying to endorse ayurvedic medicine through this video. I’m only talking about the medicine that saved us,” Vishal said.
I have shared many Tweets on my Movies & several Social Causes, but this one is something very important according to me...

The actor went on to add that he would share the name of the ayurvedic medicine on his Twitter page soon so that others can also benefit from it.
“It is very important to not be afraid of coronavirus. Even if you test positive, don’t succumb to fear. My father and I fought the virus because we didn’t fear it. We have fully recovered and are back to normal life,” Vishal added.
Vishal’s father, GK Reddy wrote on Twitter: “The fact that humanity triumphs any pandemic is proven again. Humanity and fitness is simply superior to any off, any virus. A father-son bond is obvious, but my son Vishal staying in the frontline for us in the fight against COVID-19, is indeed a step ahead.”
