Rupali Ganguly, who plays the lead in the popular show Anupamaa, has tested positive for COVID-19. Along with her, a couple of more people from the cast and crew have also apparently contracted the virus. Ashish Mehrotra, who plays Rupali's elder son, has been missing from the show for the past few days and viewers have been wondering about his sudden absence. Now it's confirmed that he has been recuperating at home. The actor was diagnosed with COVID-19 after which he has been in self-quarantine.
Rupali shared a picture of herself, posing with a helmet on her head, wearing a colourful dupatta, and wrote on Instagram, "MA Corona Devi Tu hai ki nahiiiii ( mild to asymptomatic) Ye kya hua kaise hua kab hua Jab hua tab hua .... chhodo ye na poocho (How and when did this happened? Oh, don't ask about it!)..This is the kind of positive I didn’t want to be."She also urged everyone to stay safe and apologised to her family as well as the Anupamaa team. "Take care and stay safe everyone and keep showering ur love on my family and Anupamaa family. Sorry for letting u and Rudransh down @ashwinkverma and the entire unit down @rajan.shahi.543 despite u taking all the precautions- pata nahi kahan se kaise ho gaya ... Have quarantined myself away from my family and other humans," she wrote.
Rupali made a comeback to TV last year with Anupamaa, which climbed on the ratings charts. Last month, actor Paras Kalnawat (who plays Anupamaa's younger son) had tested positive after which he was on a break for two weeks. He returned on the sets and the makers resumed his track. The report further adds, that Rupali Ganguly is in self-isolation after her results came back positive yesterday, there are rumours about her onscreen husband Sudhashu Pandey, too. Apparently, he hasn't been keeping well since two days. Meanwhile, producer Rajan Shahi and his team are busy chalking out their next course of action.
