New Delhi: The number of COVID-19 positive cases is increasing with every passing day. We had earlier informed you that ‘Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2’ actor Parth Samthaan tested negative in his second report after testing positive for the virus earlier this month. TV actor Amal Sehrawat, who plays the role of Jagjeet Singh Dhillon in Colors TV’ ‘Choti Sarrdaarni’, lost his father to Coronavirus last month. Amal, while talking to an entertainment portal, said that his mother also tested positive for COVID-19 twice. He said that his father didn’t have any Coronavirus symptoms and they took him to the hospital for some other reason. The hospital conducted a COVID-19 test and his father’s results came out as positive. The talented actor further said that his mother has recovered from Coronaviris and she is doing fine now.
