New Delhi: Singer Kanika Kapoor became the first Bollywood celebrity to get infected with Coronavirus. The ‘Baby Doll’ singer took to social media to confirm that she has been tested positive for COVID-19. Kanika attended Akbar Ahmad’s party where high-profile political biggies were present. Vasundhara Raje's son Dushyant Singh also attended the same party along with other political leaders, socialites and bureaucrats.

The ‘Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan’ singer issued an official statement on Friday and urged her fans to practice self-isolation.

“Hello everyone. For the past 4 days I have had signs of flu, I got myself tested and it came positive for Covid-19. My family and I are in complete quarantine now and following medical advice on how to move forward. Contact mapping of people I have been in touch with is underway aswell.

I was scanned at the airport as per normal procedure 10days ago when I came back home, the symptoms have developed only 4 days ago. At this stage I would like to urge you all to practice self isolation and get tested if you have the signs. I am feeling ok, like a normal flu and a mild fever, however we need to be sensible citizens at this time and think of all around us. We can get through this without panic only if we listen to the experts and our local, state and central government directives. Wishing everyone good health. Jai Hind ! Take care, KK,” the statement read.
