Former VJ, television host, actor and superstar known for her stellar acting and huge fan following across the globe, Mahira Khan, who unfortunately recently tested positive for coronavirus, is reflecting on her time in isolation — away from family, friends and fans who are sending her strength and best wishes from afar.

Taking to Instagram, the Raees actor shared some emotional reflections during the time she's been spending social distancing, locked up in isolation and missing normalcy terribly.

"I have listened to old songs, read lots, written and written and written, watched some amazing films, smiled while thinking of life and cried too, lit candles and then re lit some more every night," Mahira posted, sharing all that she's been doing to pass the hours.

"I missed my child more than ever before. I missed seeing those I love so much. And in my moments of pain and discomfort.. I could only thank the universe for the life I have lived and continue to live. Every little thing - all the tender mercies and blessings. Alhumdulillah," she added, looking back at all that life had to offer and truly grateful counting her blessings.

"Thank you for the birthday wishes and the love."

Khan also posted a short video playing legendary musician Noor Jehan's melodious tunes in the background, enjoying her vocals on what was the queen's 20th death anniversary yesterday.

"P.S Here I am, sitting on top of a roof.. watching the sky in all its glory. Added Madam Noor Jehaan’s chaandni raatein to it. ‘We only truly die when we are forgotten’ - She lives every day and forever," she added.

Previously, the Humsafar star had informed her fans of having contracted the virus, hopeful that the road to recovery would be a smooth one.

"I have tested positive for Covid-19. I'm isolating and I have also informed all those who were in close contact with me over the last few days. It's been rough but it will be okay soon," she had posted.

Khan recently celebrated her 36th birthday in isolation, sharing feelings of joy and gratefulness from her home, for her fans and their lovely wishes from all over the world.
