Neil Bhatt, who is seen in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, has tested COVID-19 positive as per a report in Times of India. Rajesh Ram Singh, producer of the show said, "Yes, it is true. Neil had mild symptoms since yesterday while we were shooting the Holi sequence in the show. However, as he told us, we immediately stalled the shoot and Neil got himself tested on Wednesday. Today the reports came positive and he informed us in the afternoon. Currently, Neil is receiving medical attention and under home quarantine. Continuing further he said, We are constantly in touch with the entire team as their health is our priority. Even though we have a bank of episodes, they are not enough to handle Neil's absence. While we will resume the shoot soon after all the actors are tested, we are working on a parallel track for the show. The Holi sequence has been put on hold at the moment."
Neil, who plays ACP Virat Chavan in the serial, was also in the news some time back for his personal life. The actor fell in love with his co-actress, Aishwarya Sharma from the show during the course of the shoot and the two started dating in October last year. They even had a roka ceremony at the actress’ hometown, Mahidpur (Madhya Pradesh), in January this year. “We have been shooting together since September last year. We enjoyed each other’s company and became friends. We always intended to take our relationship seriously right from the word go. It was always for a long-term relationship and not the usual short-lived one. We didn’t even ask each other out. We realised that something was brewing between us, but we wanted it to grow into something serious,” Neil had shared earlier.
