Shanaya Kapoor COVID-19 Positive:

Shanaya Kapoor posted the update on her social media handle and wrote, "I have tested positive for COVID-19. As of today, I have mild symptoms, but I'm feeling ok and have isolated myself. I had tested negative four days ago, however, while testing again as precaution, the results came positive. "I am following the protocol given by my doctor and health professionals. If you have been in contact with me, request you to please get tested. Stay safe everyone."

Actor Sanjay Kapoor had recently given his statement to PTI that Maheep Kapoor is showing no symptoms and is doubly vaccinated. Seema Khan and her 10-year-old son are also COVID-19 positive, as per PTI. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation alleged that Kareena Kapoor and Amrita Arora who tested positive had flouted COVID-19 guidelines by attending 'several parties'.

Her team later came out with clarification and said, "Kareena has been extremely responsible throughout the lockdown period. She has been careful every time she's stepped out. Unfortunately, this time she and Amrita Arora contracted COVID at an intimate dinner where a few friends had gathered to catchup. It wasn't a big party as being reported. Among that group, there was one person who seemed unwell and was coughing, and who eventually passed it on."

"This person should have been responsible enough to not attend the dinner and put others at risk. As soon as she tested positive she has quarantined herself and is following the necessary precautions and protocols to deal with the condition. It is not fair to put the blame on her and say that she has been irresponsible and let her guard down. Kareena is a responsible citizen and also has the concern and care for safeguarding her family, " they added.

Many reports stated that Karan Johar's party became the "COVID hotspot". The same was denied by the director. In an instagram post, Johar wrote that all members of his family have tested negative for the virus and said that only eight people had come for dinner at his place and it wasn't party.
