Bollywood actress and former cricketer Harbhajan Singh's wife Geeta Basra has contracted COVID-19. On Friday, Geeta took to Instagram and informed her fans and followers about her diagnosis.
"After being so careful and trying to dodge this damn thing for 2 years, the virus finally caught us," she wrote on Instagram Story. Alongside the update, she posted a picture of her resting on her bed.
For the unversed, Geeta, who is best known for her role in Emraan Hashmi's 'The Train', tied the knot with Harbhajan Singh in 2015. The two have a daughter named Hinaya and a son named Jovan.
Earlier, on Thursday, south Indian actor Dulquer Salmaan confirmed that he has tested positive for the coronavirus. He shared his diagnosis on social media on Thursday and asked people who have recently come in contact with him to get themselves tested.
Sharing a note on Twitter, the actor wrote, “I have just tested positive for COVID19. I’m isolating at home and have mild flu symptoms but am otherwise ok.” He added, “People who were in close contact with me during shoots over the last few days, please isolate and test if you notice symptoms.”
A few days ago, Dulquer’s father Mammootty had also tested positive for Covid-19. The actor had informed his fans on Twitter that he is doing fine.
On a related note, the health ministry said that a sharp surge in Covid-19 cases continued to be noted in India, with the weekly positivity rate touching almost 16% in the last one week.
