In the photo, Milind can be seen posing against the backdrop of mountains. He titled his lengthy note as "Quarantine. Day 4" and wrote, "Difficult to say how I got infected or from whom.

I also had a mild headache and elevated body temp of 98°". 

In the other half of his caption, the Bajirao Mastani actor wrote that he took his first RTPCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction ) test on September 4, 2020, as part of govt regulations before a flight. The actor also revealed that he has been travelling almost every week since then. Milind added that he even went to the US in October 2020.

"I have taken the RTPCR test more than 30 times so far, it was like a routine. I was reasonably careful, following all prescribed protocol," read an excerpt of his caption. He also added that during his discussions with his wife Ankita Konwar, it is always a question of when did he contract the virus. To conclude his post, he gave his health update as it read, "Today when I woke up, pulse was 61, O2 was 99 and temp 97.6".
