After Arjun Kapoor, Malaika Arora tests positive for coronavirus

The Bollywood diva's sister, Amrita Arora, confirmed the news

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor announced testing Covid-19 positive earlier on Sunday, and his girlfriend Malaika Arora has confirmed later the same day that she too is infected with the virus. Malaika added that she is currently under home quarantine.

“Yes, she has tested positive. She is asymptomatic and has self-quarantined at home,” a source confirmed to IANS. The news was also confirmed by Malaika's sister, Amrita Arora, to the Times of India.

Earlier in the day, Malaika’s friend Arjun shared that he had tested positive for Covid-19.

“It is my duty to inform all of you that I have tested positive for coronavirus. I am feeling ok and I am asymptomatic. I have isolated myself at home under the advice of doctors and authorities and will be under home quarantine,” Arjun wrote on Instagram.

He thanked everyone in advance for their wishes and support. “I thank you all in advance for your support and I will keep you updated about my health in the days to come. These are extraordinary and unprecedented times and I have faith that all of humanity will overcome this virus,” Arjun added.

The Panipat star had been raising awareness for Covid-19 on social media through the lockdown, asking them to stay safe. He recently shared a compassionate video where a person is seen taking care of a stranded dog sleeping on a pavement. In the video which is CCTV footage, a person is seen taking a stroll down a road at night while he is checking his mobile phone.

As the person walks, he sees a cloth lying on the walkway and gradually moves over to cover the pet who is seen getting scared and shaking in fear as the guy walks closer. The person then covers the street dog with compassion and caresses the helpless dog on the street.
