Singer Kanika Kapoor Releases Statement, Clarifies That She Is At Her Lucknow Home

Kanika Kapoor had been India’s first celeb to have been infected by the novel coronavirus. Even though she had been criticized for not following the quarantine strictly after returning from London, none of the people who had come in her contact tested postive. In fact, she had quite a long battle with the virus and after the fifth test, she finally tested negative. Now, it was being rumoured that she had been missing from her Lucknow home now. Kanika decided to address the rumours herself and posted a long note.

Taking to social media, she said that she feels these rumours are doing the rounds since she had chosen to remain silent. In fact, she not just broke her silence but penned a very long note. She wrote, “Every person that I have come in contact with be it in UK, Mumbai or Lucknow has shown no symptoms of Covid-19. In fact all those tested have been negative. I travelled from UK to Mumbai on March 10 and was duly screened at the international airport. I travelled to Lucknow the following day on March 11 to see my family. There was no screening set up for domestic flights. On March 14 and 15 I attended a friend's lunch and dinner. There was no party hosted by me and I was in absolute normal health. I had symptoms on March 17 and 18 so I requested to be tested." She also thanked the doctors and medical staff for taking care of her during a ‘very emotionally testing time’ and added that she has been home for the past 21 days. Here is her statement:

Well, that’s the best possible way to shut rumours, isn’t it?
