Arjun Kapoor shared in a statement today that he has tested negative for Covid-19. “I am happy to report that I have tested negative to coronavirus over the weekend. I’m feeling better after making a full recovery and excited to return to work. Thank you everyone for you good wishes and positivity,” posted the actor in Instagram. The 35-year-old actor was diagnosed with COVID-19 on September 6 and was in home quarantine since. Kapoor had recently started shooting for his latest film before he was diagnosed with COVID-19. The untitled project, being directed by Kaashive Nair, also stars Rakul Preet, John Abraham and Aditi Rao Hydari. It is produced by T-Series along with Nikkhil Advani’s Emmay Entertainment and Abraham’s JA Entertainment.
Kapoor stressed that people should take the virus “seriously” and always wear a mask. “People should understand that coronavirus affects everyone- young and old, so please wear a mask at all times,” he added. The actor also expressed his gratitude to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for its support.“ A huge salute to all the frontline workers who are risking everything to take care of us. We are forever indebted to you guys,” he added. Many of his industry colleagues such as Anushka Sharma, Kriti Sanon, Radhika Madan and Ananya Panday liked the post. His girlfriend Malaika Arora had also tested positive for Covid-19 around the same time and came out of quarantine a few days ago. She is back to being the judge on India’s Best Dancer, where Nora Fatehi had filled in during her absence.
