Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher on Sunday, July 12 said his mother, Dulari, along with brother Raju and his family have tested positive for COVID-19 and are currently under quarantine.
Sharing a video on Twitter, Kher said his mother wasn’t eating for the past few days and even got her blood tests done, which showed nothing alarming.

“But then our doctor advised us to take her to a CT scan center and get her scanned and it turned out she was COVID positive, mild,” he said.

“My brother and I also got ourselves tested, where Raju tested mildly positive while I was negative.

My sister-in-law and niece also tested mildly positive,” the actor added.

The 65-year-old actor said while his mother is admitted to Kokilaben Hospital, his brother’s family is quarantining at their home.

“I’ve informed the BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) they’re working amazingly, efficiently. They will sanitize my brother’s residence,” he said.
