Abhinav Shukla Cancels Plans To Meet Rubina Dilaik In Shimla After She Contracts COVID-19

Many celebrities have become victims of the second wave of coronavirus in the past two months. The latest to join the long dreaded list is Bigg Boss 14 winner Rubina Dilaik. The actress, who has been busy shooting for her show Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, took to her official social media handle yesterday to announce that she has tested positive for COVID-19 and has been home quarantined for 17 days. However, she is focusing on the positive-- she will be able to donate plasma when she recovers.

According to latest reports, Rubina is in home quarantine in Shimla with her family. Her husband Abhinav Shukla, on the other hand, returned to Mumbai from Punjab and was planning a trip to Shimla to meet Rubina. However, he has now cancelled the trip. In a chat with TOI, he was quoted saying, “I will be staying here because Rubina is in isolation at her home in Shimla. So there’s no point in me going there. No one will be able to meet her right now.”

Talking about how he’s handling the news, Abhinav shared, “Panicking doesn’t help anyone, we have to be well informed about how to handle it. If we panic, then people around too will do the same. We are following all the SOP’s (Standard Operating Procedures) and that’s important. I’m hoping she gets well soon.”

Well, we wish Rubina a speedy recovery!
