In a statement shared late night on Thursday, the 28-year-old actress wrote: “Hello all, 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.” Alia also thanked concerned fans in her post, adding: “Grateful for all your love and support. Please stay safe and take care.” Alia Bhatt has been busy filming Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi in Mumbai.
At the beginning of March, Mr Bhansali had tested positive for the coronavirus and recovered in a few weeks. Alia Bhatt’s boyfriend, actor Ranbir Kapoor, also contracted COVID-19 last month. Just days after Ranbir’s coronavirus diagnosis, Alia revealed in an Instagram story that she was in isolation for a few days and had tested negative.
