He thanked the fans for their love and support in his post.
"Inspite of all necessary precautions, including staying home, unfortunately, members of my family and I have tested positive for COVID-19. We are all home quarantined, following the essential protocols and taking medication as prescribed by our doctors,” Neil said in a statement. "We thank all of you for your love and good wishes.

In his interview to ETimes, the actor said, “Frankly speaking, the kind of work I have been doing to help the poor and needy, needs me to meet people and even travel, else that work will not happen. Wherever I went, there were several people waiting to meet me; I couldn't avoid interacting with them. Of course, I have always worn a mask but this disease has no answers; it's happening to many of those who have been very careful."
