Popular Indian actress Raai Laxmi, who predominantly appears in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada movies, is the latest showbiz celebrity to have contracted the Coronavirus.
According to reports, the actress tested positive for the virus early last week and has been in self-isolation during the recovery period. A source in the know informs an Indian publication that she showed very mild symptoms and has been in bed rest for over a week now. She is taking all the precautions and following all Covid-19 protocols. The source goes on to add that the actress is doing well and should recover in a couple of days.
Laxmi rang in 2021 with her close friends in a private celebration. The actress even got a photoshoot done at a beautiful location. She had earlier told the publication, “I had a small get-together with my friends on the New Year’s Eve, with all the norms in place, of course. I also did a photoshoot in a beautiful location and cannot wait to release the pictures.”
Sharing what she wanted from 2021, Raai Laxmi had said, “I want 2021 to be a very big and positive year for all of us. I wish this New Year gives us all a lot of new opportunities. 2020 has not been a great year for the majority of us, but in hindsight, it has taught us a lot. The difficult circumstances gave us a lot of realization. I personally learnt the importance of patience and tolerance. As individuals, and as a society, I believe a certain kind of awakening has happened and we have started putting humanity above us. We should not let go of any of these lessons we learnt, and use it to our advantage to come out of the pandemic state. We should all get back to a nice, happy, stable, and peaceful life.”
On the work front, Raai Laxmi is presently waiting for the release of her next Kannada film Jhansi IPS. She is also filming for Cinderella in Tamil and Anandha Bhairavi in Telugu.

R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
