Malaika Arora, who tested positive for COVID-19 on September 7, has "overcome the virus," she announced in an Instagram post on Sunday. The actress posted a picture of herself, in which she can be seen sporting a mask, and wrote that she stepped out of her room after so many days that it feels like an "outing." The actress, who isolated herself at her home after testing positive for the virus, wrote: "'Out and about'...I am finally out of my room after so many days, it feels like an outing in itself.... I feel so blessed to have overcome this virus with minimum pain and discomfort. A big thanks to my doctors for their medical guidance, to BMC for making this process hassle-free, to my family for their immeasurable support and to all my friends, neighbours and fans for all their good wishes and the strength that I got from your messages and support. I can't thank you all enough in words for what everyone has done for me in these difficult times. All of you please stay safe and take care."
