COVID-19 positive which later had an effect on my appetite, taste buds and sense of smell," he said.Parkar's wife also tested positive for the coronavirus as well.
But he said that he had to stay strong and did not want "to give up"."I saw my wife too was tested positive and admitted next to me in the same hospital but I was fully aware that I have to be strong and do not want to give up because if I gave up then, who will look after my wife and my family.
I was scared because the experience is totally different when you treat others and when you tested positive," he said.Parkar further added, "'Maut ke munh se baahar aaya hun' (I escaped death).
