Sonam Kapoor’s sister, producer-stylist Rhea Kapoor has confirmed that she tested positive for COVID-19. As per reports, Arjun and Anshula Kapoor have also been diagnosed with coronavirus. Arjun had tested COVID positive in September last year as well.
In an Instagram post, Rhea added that she is isolating with her husband, Karan Boolani, and they ‘watched Frozen for the first time.’ “Yes I’m positive for covid inspite of being super careful. But this is the nature of the pandemic,” Rhea shared.
“Not sure why my or anyone’s private health information is news or gossip. This information should be only for government and medical bodies so they can do their job and not on gossip sites. It’s invasive and weird,” added Rhea.
She further wrote, “My husband and I are isolating and taking all prescribed medications and precautions. We also watched Frozen for the first time last night. It was pretty good. Made me miss my sister too much. Everything tastes bad except chocolate, my head hurts and I’m still grateful I got it the way I did and we will be fine in no time.”
Rhea then thanked everyone who reached out to her adding, “We are not too bad, thanks for checking we love you.” Arjun and Anshula haven't released statements yet.
Earlier this month, Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Seema Khan, and Maheep Kapoor had tested positive for the virus. ANI had then reported that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said that Kareena’s sample was sent for genome sequencing and came back negative for Omicron.
