Actor Rohit Roy says that actor Prem Chopra is doing fine, and his hospitalization was just precautionary after he contracted Coronavirus.

The veteran actor and his wife, Uma, were admitted to a Mumbai hospital after the two tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday.

Roy is related to Chopra as his brother-in-law, actor Sharman Joshi, is married to Chopra’s daughter, Prerana.

“He is responding well to medicines. He and Uma aunty are fine. They were taken to the hospital to administer the medication. They will recover at home. There is no need for paranoia,” shares Roy.

Meanwhile, the Shootout At Lokhandwala (2007) actor and his family are being cautious, especially as they have a senior citizen, his 75-year-old mother, living with them. “But we’re not paranoid. We just need to follow the guidelines, the social distancing norms and wear masks,” he adds.

Roy also says that he is trying to educate himself about the new variant, so that he can inform others around him. He shares, “People think the pandemic is over, and we are all vaccinated. But from what we are seeing, vaccination has got nothing to do with whether a person will contract Covid-19 or not.”

As for work, the actor is currently shooting for a project. “I don’t know whether it makes sense to close down again. It will be a setback for the economy and country,” Roy concludes.
