Actor Freddy Daruwala’s father tested positive for COVID-19

Model-turned-actor Freddy Daruwala’s father has been tested positive for COVID-19. His 67-year-old father has been isolated in their bungalow.

While talking to a daily, the actor said, “My dad had symptoms of seasonal flu, like fever and body ache. Hence, we took it lightly. On the third or fourth day, I thought that we should get him tested considering the current scenario. The reports that came a couple of days back showed positive results.”


“The BMC suggested that we should keep him in a place with many rooms and washrooms. So, we kept him at home because we thought that the hospitals may be used by someone who really needs it,” he added.

Well, everyone in his house is under self-isolation; the actor is worried about his 15-month-old son, Evaan. He said, “We’re all under home isolation. I’m more worried about my son, Evaan. There’s over-consumption of information related to Coronavirus. So we keep worrying about what if something happens to him. We’re trying our best to keep our son away from contracting any infection. I’m also making sure that I don’t make my father feel ostracised. I’m taking care of my wife and sexagenarian mum too.”

Freddy also revealed that BMC has sealed his house and it was also sanitized. The actor said, “The BMC came and put up a notice outside our bungalow and have sealed it. They also sanitized our house. Since we’ve many rooms, isolation at home has become easier.”

Talking about Freddy's projects, he was last seen in Zee5's web series Poison which released in 2019.
