Sharad Malhotra tested positive for Coronavirus on Friday. The actor has mild symptoms and is under home quarantine. The actor who is currently a part of Naagin 5, developed mild symptoms on Thursday and took the test on his doctor’s advice. The reports came out positive but fortunately his wife Ripci Bhatia has tested negative.
In an interview to a leading daily, Sharad said, “They say if you stay positive, good things and people will be drawn to you. Well, I think, I took this line, too seriously. Unfortunately, I have tested COVID-19 positive. I have mild symptoms and have quarantined myself at home. Thankfully, my wife Ripci has tested negative and she continues to follow all precautionary measures. I am resting at home under strict medical supervision, and I would urge my viewers to keep me in their prayers, so that I can bounce back sooner and stronger."
Meanwhile, Sharad’s Naagin 5 co-star Surbhi Chandna wrote in an Instagram story that she is overwhelmed by the concern of her fans over her health. She promised to get back with a health update and wrote, “Thank you for the concern pouring in! Shall update as and when I get my results." In another Instagram story, she shared a photo with Sharad Malhotra and wrote: "Want this face and vibe back, uncle. We are good."
As per reports, the cast and crew of Naagin 5 have been informed about Sharad’s test results and have been asked to isolate themselves. Those who have come close to the actor will also be tested for COVID-19 and the shoot will be stalled for a few days to allow sanitisation and fumigation of the sets.
