Model-turned-actor Milind Soman has tested positive for Covid-19, he revealed in a post on Twitter. “Tested positive. #Quarantine,” his short tweet read.

Milind Soman has been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

Fans were shocked and wished Milind a speedy recovery. “What! Howcome? You're so fit.. Wish you speedy recovery,” one replied to his tweet. “Get negative soon. Your fitness will anyway keep you well,” another wrote. “Yo fitness is far bigger than Corona...U'll easily overcome it sir...gud luck,” a third wrote.

On Wednesday, a day before his Covid-19 diagnosis, Milind shared an Instagram post about the importance of smiling. “Smiling can help reduce the level of stress-enhancing hormones, increase the level of mood-enhancing hormones like endorphins, and reduce overall blood pressure. Some studies researching the relation between physical expression and the mind show that smiling could make you feel happier, scowling makes you feel angrier, and frowning makes you feel sadder. And if that's not enough, smiling can actually make you look good in the eyes of others. What do you think ? Does the smile make the clothes look better?? #smile,” he wrote.
