Farah Khan tests positive for COVID-19, says contracted virus despite getting both jabs and working with fully-vaccinated people

Film-maker Farah Khan Kunder has revealed that she has tested positive for COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated.

The choreographer took to social media to share the news, saying that she had got both the shots of the vaccine and works with people who are fully vaccinated, but she still managed to contract the virus.

"Despite being double vaccinated and working with mostly double vaxxed people, I have still managed to test positive for COVID. I have already informed everyone I came in contact with to get tested," the 56-year-old 'Om Shanti Om' director wrote in a statement on her Instagram Stories.


"However, if I have forgotten someone (because of old age and fading memory), please test yourself. Hoping to recover soon," she went on to add.

Khan Kunder currently features as a judge on the 'Zee Comedy Show' and had recently also shot for a dance reality show with Shilpa Shetty Kundra.
