This news comes after several Bollywood celebrities have urged citizens of the country to stay indoors and practise self-distancing. The singer has crooned many hit songs amongst which most noteworthy are Baby Doll, Chittiyan Kalaiyaan, Lovely and Kamli. And now, the singer is being criticised and is being called irresponsible for keeping her condition and travel details a secret and attending a wedding without taking the gravity of the issue at hand in concern. She has claimed to have undergone the necessary tests by the airport authorities and was tested negative at the airport!
