A source had earlier informed a publication, "She was not feeling well some time ago after which she got herself tested for COVID-19. There are rumours that she has tested positive, but she has not issued any statement on this and neither has the production house. So, it is not very clear."
However, when a news channel contacted the actress, she confirmed the news, “Yes, I have tested positive for COVID-19. I developed a cough on September 16. Tony and Deeya said the sequence of marriage with Varun was very important and even otherwise, I felt I should not take any chances. I headed to get myself tested.”

It is a tough time no doubt. Even on the sets, it is so difficult to shoot. It is so edgy at times. When will we come out of this pandemic?"
She added, "I am drinking lots of hot water essentially and reading a lot. I had symptoms for the first three days. I got tested on September 17. But now I am okay. I have to quarantine myself till October 1 at least. My next test will happen on September 27.”
