She wrote, "Have tested positive for Covid today. Have isolated myself at home and request all those who were in close contact with me to please get tested".
Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi were shooting for Karan Johar's film Rocky and Rani's love story in Delhi. Reports suggested that the shoot of Karan Johar’s ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ was postponed after Jaya Bachchan got infected. However, a source close to the production said, "All covid rules and regulations are being followed and Karan is still shooting for the film."
The filming of Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani was halted soon after Jaya Bachchan's Covid news was viral. The filming of the next schedule in Delhi has been rescheduled. This movie will be marked as Karan Johar's return to directing after a 5-year absence.
Earlier in 2020, the entire Bachchan family including Amitabh, son Abhishek, and daughter-in-law Aishwarya had tested positive with the virus.
We wish a speedy recovery to Jaya Bachchan.
