It’s a hell of a time in the life of anybody in any part of the world. The latest on COVID-19 in Bollywood fraternity is that Kiran Kumar has tested positive.

Yesterday, I saw visuals of KEM Hospital and Sion Hospital on India Today and my heart skipped a beat. The report which illustrated that we are running out of beds and space in hospitals needs urgent attention. 

Kiran Kumar stays near Gaiety-Galaxy in Bandra. When contacted, he confirmed that he has contracted COVID-19. “I learned about it when I went to a hospital for a minor procedure. I had to undergo some preliminary tests before getting the procedure done. I think they did the COVID-19 test in those list of tests as a precautionary measure and I happened to test positive.”

Added Kiran Kumar, “However, I have absolutely no symptoms- no cough, no fever, no breathlessness, just nothing. I am feeling absolutely fine. As I said, I had no symptoms earlier too. Else I wouldn’t have headed for a procedure.

Anyway, I have quarantined myself at home. I have 2 floors, so thankfully there’s no problem of space at all. My wife and kids stay on the penultimate floor and I have isolated myself at the top floor. I will again get tested on either 25th or 26th.”
