Soni Razdan and Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt took to social media on Thursday to announce that she has tested positive for COVID-19. The
actress, who has been busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi in Mumbai, shared a health update on Instagram, and wrote, “I have tested positive for COVID-19. I have immediately isolated myself and will be under home quarantine. I am following all safety protocols under the advice of my doctors (sic).”
Talking to Bombay Times, her mother, actress Soni Razdan, says that Alia has self-quarantined and is taking good care of herself. “I am in touch with her, it’s just that I try not to call her too many times. In the last few days, I have called her in the morning to check on her. I don’t want to burden her with constant calls, because if I keep doing that, it will stress her out. I sent her messages suggesting what she should eat, which is simple and light food. So, she is sorted now as far as her food is concerned,” say
