Baby Doll singer Kanika Kapoor, who became the first Bollywood celeb to be tested positive for novel coronavirus, has been facing a lot of backlash for being negligent and attending social gatherings after returning from her London trip. While most called her behavior ‘irresponsible’, actress Sonam Kapoor Ahuja took a stand for the singer and defended her on social media. She wrote: “Hey guys @TheKanikakapoor came back on the 9th. India was not self isolating but playing Holi”.

Read slowly : irrespective of when she came, she was supposed to follow a self discipline of maintaining social distancing for 14 days. You ve just come back - you are supposed to do the same.

Kanika Kapoor arrived in Lucknow on 11th March after a trip to London and authorities asked her to quarantine herself for a period of 14 days to avoid any risks. However, she ignored the instructions according to reports and attended many social gatherings. Over a week later, she took to her social media handle to announce that she has been tested positive for coronavirus. The Lucknow police have now booked her on charges of negligence.
