Rekha refuses to get tested for Covid-19

Earlier on several staffers of the veteran actor had been diagnosed with the virus

Veteran Bollywood actor Rekha has refused to let Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials inside her Mumbai residence, as reported by Pinkvilla. In addition, she has also refrained from getting a Covid-19 test done to assess whether she has contracted the virus, or not, even though her staff members have tested positive. 

While the staffers have been shifted to BMC’s Covid-19 facility for further treatment, Rekha's outrageous behaviour with the authorities has been slammed by a number of people. According to reports, her manager Farhana contacted the BMC staff when they reached the Umrao Jaan Ada star’s bungalow.

She then gave them her number and reportedly asked the BMC to call before carrying out any procedures. Later on, when Farhana was called, she reportedly said that Rekha is doing fine and is not willing to get tested for Covid-19 because she had not come in anyone’s contact.

To make matters worse, according to reports, the BMC had sent a sanitisation team to Rekha's residence but they were not let inside. Moreover, they were not allowed to sanitise the bungalow either.

Earlier, it was reported by Hindustan Times that Rekha does not wish to get tested by the BMC officials and had instead opted to get the test done herself. She was supposed to submit the test results to the concerned authorities.
