Singer Rahul Vaidya is suffering from Dengue along with his wife and actor Disha Parmar. He tells us, “I went to Pune on September 1, I am sure I was bitten by a mosquito. By the time I got infected and the symptoms started showing, it was the 5th night.”
“I had a terribly high fever, felt cold, and was shivering badly. And after that, those five days of my life were the worst days ever. God forbid anyone ever gets this disease, not even the enemy. The weakness was so bad that I wasn’t even able to get up from the bed for four days straight,” the 36-year-old further adds, highlighting his vulnerable symptoms of the condition.

The singer shares that his wife Disha was traveling to Pune with him and hence, she also got infected there. “We both are on the way to recovery now, but it will still take some time, there is a lot of weakness. Our medicines are going on, we are having light foods and no workout. It was an event commitment that I had to travel for a day in between otherwise we weren’t in the position to do so. Platelets are a bit low, we are taking regular blood tests and measures to improve them,” he reveals.
The duo’s daughter Navya is unharmed and their parents are looking after her. “Navya is absolutely fine, luckily she did not come to Pune. Earlier she was also about to come, then by chance we changed the plan,” Vaidya continues, “Her grandparents are taking care of her, there are helpers too, everyone is looking after her. And, she is a very quiet, independent and calm girl, she doesn’t need us all the time. She plays well in her own way.”
It was a sad moment for Vaidya to miss out on his favorite festival, i.e. Ganesh Chaturthi. “We were just laying in bed the whole time. The prasad, attending guests, and managing everything was done by my mom. In fact, my friends did visarjan, we did not do much. I felt really bad. I love this festival and I had to miss it like this,” he wraps up.
