The actor’s mother, brother, sister-in-law and niece have contracted coronavirus. He added that all of them are stable and have been found ‘mildly COVID positive.’ While Anupam Kher’s mother has been admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai, the rest of the family are quarantining at their home.

Kher added that his mother had not been feeling well and had experienced a loss of appetite in the last few days. She took a blood test in which everything was fine, however, a CT Scan confirmed that she had a mild case of COVID-19.

 Anupam Kher thanked the doctors and the Bombay Municipal Corporation for their support and quick action. He wrapped up the video by saying that his brother’s residence is being sanitised.
