Shantanu Maheshwari`s recent encounter with Covid-19 was a challenging fight for the actor, but the techniques he used to strengthen this battle and successfully overcome it proved to be major learning lessons for him. Realizing the importance of not only being mentally strong through this tough phase but also dwelling upon the positives and the highs to get through the lows in spite of a slow recovery, was a challenge Shantanu took in his stride."It was initially very hard for me as I was in this constant comparison mode between the speed of recovery between other people and myself as they had absolutely no problems in dealing with their phase of covid, whereas I was struggling to stand properly or even reply to messages which were quite frustrating! Finally, there was a moment of realization that acceptance is the key here. Mentally accepting the situation and dealing with it calmly was very effective for me to make the recovery process a smoother one."
