BMC sanitises Arjun Kapoor's building after actor tests positive for the second time; Malaika Arora likely to be tested next

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday, along with his sister Anshula Kapoor. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday sanitised the actor's residential building in Mumbai as per the Covid-19 guidelines.

Earlier today, Arjun's cousin Rhea Kapoor had released released a statement on Instagram revealing that she and her husband film-maker Karan Boolani have tested positive for the virus and our currently isolation.

While Rhea has confirmed testing positive, Arjun hasn't yet made a statement. This is the second time that the Bollywood star has got down with Covid.


Earlier in September 2020, Arjun had tested positive for the virus and had recovered without complications.


In her statement, Rhea, the 34-year-old daughter of veteran Bollywood star Anil Kapoor, said that she and her husband caught the virus despite being extremely careful and called it the "nature of the pandemic". The couple have been taking prescribed medications. Rhea wondered why her private health information was a topic of 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. My husband and I are isolating and taking all prescribed medications and precautions," Rhea wrote.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Malaika Arora's sister Amrita Arora had tested positive for the coronavirus after they attended a dinner at film-maker Karan Johar's residence in Mumbai's Bandra.

Arjun, Alia Bhatt, Malaika and others were also in attendance. Maheep Kapoor and Sohail Khan's wife Seema Khan, who were also in the guest list for the intimate dinner get-together, also tested Covid positive.
