Prior to her coronavirus diagnosis, she was shooting for Sony TV's reality show 'India's Best Dancer', that resumed after the government allowed film and TV production to commence as a part of the Unlock procedure.

The production of the show, which also features Geeta Kapoor and Terence Lewis as judges, was recently put on hold after some of the crew members tested positive for the virus.

Known for her performance in popular Bollywood songs such as 'Chaiyya Chaiyya', 'Maahi Ve', 'Kaal Dhamaal' and 'Munni Badnaam Hui', Arora spent the auspicious occasion of Onam with family. She had shared a series of pictures with her sister Amrita, mother Joyce, brother-in-law Shakeel Ladak, and her nephews - Azaan (10) and Rayaan (7).
