Film producer Boney Kapoor’s domestic help has tested positive for COVID–19. According to a statement released by Kapoor, the in-house staff member at the producer’s Lokhandwala apartment took ill on Saturday evening. Kapoor immediately sent him for tests and also kept him in isolation. After receiving the test report, which was positive, the housing society authorities were alerted, who in turn informed BMC. Soon, the BMC and the state government authorities shifted him to a quarantine facility.

Kapoor said, “My children (Janhvi and Khushi), our staff at home and I, are all fine, none of us are showing any symptoms. In fact, we haven’t left our home since the lockdown started. We are thankful to the Government of Maharashtra and the BMC for their swift response. We shall be diligently following the instructions and advice given to us by the BMC and their medical team. We are sure that our staff member will recover soon and be back at home with us.”

Ever since Khushi Kapoor returned from the US in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, sister Janhvi had been posting all the fun that they were having, from painting to cooking together. But, on Tuesday, the actress shared a statement issued by dad Boney Kapoor to inform that their 23-year-old house help, Charan Sahu, has tested positive for Covid-19 and is admitted to a quarantine centre.

The help, who had been feeling unwell since Saturday evening, was sent for tests and kept in isolation. When the results came in, the filmmaker alerted BMC officials and authorities of the Housing Society where they reside.

Thanking the municipal body and the state government for their swift response, Boney assured everyone that his daughters, he and the rest of their staff were fine and not showing any symptoms of Covid-19. “All of us will be in self-quarantine for the next 14 days. We shall be diligently following all the guidelines given to us,” he promised.

Echoing his thoughts, Janhvi wrote on her social media handle, “Staying at home is still the best solution we have. Stay safe everyone.”

The filmmaker ended his statement by pointing out that he hoped Charan would recover and return soon and that it’s important to share this information to avoid panic and rumour. Kartik Aaryan agreed with him, saying, “Kudos for acting promptly. Spreading awareness is the new normal”.
