MUMBAI: Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on Friday announced that six of her family members, including husband Raj Kundra, son Viaan-Raj and daughter Samisha, have tested positive for coronavirus.
In a statement posted on her official Instagram page, the 45-year-old actor said her parents-in-law and her mother have also contracted the virus.
“The last 10 days have been difficult for us as a family. My parents-in-law tested positive for Covid-19, followed by Samisha, Viaan-Raj, my Mom, and lastly, Raj. They’ve all been in isolation in their rooms at home as per the official guidelines and have been following the doctor’s advice,” Shetty said.
Besides her family, two members of the actor’s in-house staff also tested positive and they are currently being treated at a medical facility, she added.
Shetty said all the members of her family are “on the road to recovery”, while she has tested negative for the disease.
“All safety measures have been followed as per protocol, and we’re grateful to the BMC and authorities for their prompt help & response.
“Thank you for all your love & support. Please continue to keep all of us in your prayers. Please mask up, sanitise, stay safe; and whether Covid positive or not. Still stay positive, mentally,” she added.
