Mumbai: Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has been hospitalised after testing positive for Coronavirus. The actor took to Twitter and informed that he was hospitalised on Sunday evening and is currently stable. Akshay Kumar has said that he got admitted to the hospital as a precautionary measure and hopes to return home soon.

Akshay was one of the first big Bollywood stars to resume work after the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions were lifted. He began shooting for the espionage thriller Bellbottom in Scotland in August last year and even worked double shifts to finish the film within a 45-day schedule.
