Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan’s mother Pinkie Roshan has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently quarantined at home, filmmaker-husband Rakesh Roshan on Thursday said.
Hours after a report suggested that Pinkie Roshan had contracted the virus, Rakesh Roshan confirmed the news saying, “She is asymptomatic and doing home quarantine.”
Pink also spoke about her diagnosis and the precautions she, her family, and staff are undertaking and said, "Every 20 days or so, we have been getting everyone checked as a precaution. This includes all our family members and the staff. I have no symptoms and my doctors told me that my yoga and exercise regime has helped in a big way to keep this in control; however, it meant that I have had the virus in me for 15 days. I am expected to undergo another test tomorrow and let’s hope it will be negative."
Pinkie Roshan, who turned 67 on Thursday, took to Instagram to share a photo of the birthday surprise organized by her family. The photo showed a huge cut-out of “P” made of flowers and ornamented with balloons.
“#myfamily brings on my birthday with this surprise at my door,” Pinkie captioned the picture.
On Wednesday, Mumbai's COVID-19 tally rose to 2,45,871, and the death toll reached 9,869.
