Alia Bhatt Tests Negative For COVID-19 But Is Still Under Home Quarantine

Yesterday, the news of actor Ranbir Kapoor and director Sanjay Leela Bhasali testing positive for COVID-19 came as a rude reminder that the pandemic is far from being over. The infection rates might have gone down, but it is not like the virus has been eradicated. As soon as the news came up, it was also being reported that Alia Bhatt, who has been working with Ranbir for Brahmastra and with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Gangubai Kathiawadi has home quarantined herself. Now, the result of her COVID test is also out.

If a report in ETimes is to be believed, then Alia has tested negative for COVID-19. A source revealed, “Alia takes the test nearly every day and today also she has tested negative but has still isolated herself. Ranbir Kapoor caught the virus on the sets of ‘Brahmastra’ and is recovering currently.” Well, we hope that Alia remains safe.

It was yesterday that Ranbir Kapoor's mother, Neetu Kapoor confirmed her son testing positive for the virus. She wrote, “Thank you for your concern and your good wishes. Ranbir has tested positive for Covid-19. He is on medication and recovering well. He is in self-quarantine at home and following all precautions.” The actress had also contracted the virus last year while she was filming for Jug Jugg Jeeyo.
