In an interview with Times of India, Navya said, "Last night, I cried a lot while going home and even until early in the morning. I couldn’t sleep. My mom is still crying. My phone was busy; I was talking to a lot of people. My WhatsApp was flooded with messages about the symptoms, treatment, and much more. It was chaotic. I was even feeling guilty that I put my co-stars and crew in trouble, too."
She adds, "My channel, producers and co-stars including Ravi (Aame Katha co-star Ravikrishna) stood by me in this tough time. They assured me that they are there for me. What else can I ask for at the moment? I and Ravi did a couple dance together for a show and I was feeling bad that I might have passed onto him. But he was like, ‘you don’t have to feel guilty, we are all in this together’."

Navya was also sad about a few rumours floating that she deliberately continued to shoot being a carrier of the virus. She has refuted the rumours with strong words. "I had no symptoms while I was shooting and the moment I was suspicious, I got my test done. And how would anyone know where they have contracted the virus? Just because I’m tested positive, one need not create a lot of fuss about it."
