Ram Charan, who was busy shooting for SS Rajamouli’s RRR, has been tested positive for Covid-19. The actor took to Instagram to inform his fans about it.
Ram shared a note which read, "I have tested positive for Covid-19. No symptoms and quarantined and home. Hope to heal soon and come out stronger."
The actor captioned the note as, “Request all that have been around me in the past couple of days to get tested. More updates on my recovery soon.”
Last month, Ram’s father and South superstar Chiranjeevi was also tested positive for Covid-19. However, later he had revealed on Twitter that his test reports were faulty.
The actor had tweeted, “A group of doctors did three different tests and concluded that I am Covid negative & that the earlier result was due to a faulty RT PCR kit. My heartfelt thanks for the concern, love shown by all of you during this time. Humbled !”
Ram Charan was last seen on the big screen in Telugu film Vinaya Vidheya Rama. He has films like RRR and Acharya lined-up.
RRR is one of the most awaited films of 2021. The movie is being made in Telugu but like Rajamouli’s Baahubali franchise it will be dubbed in various languages and it is one of the most anti-cipated pan-India films. It also stars Jr NTR, Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt.

Justin Bieber under fire after commenting on Ariana Greenblatt’s Instagram post
Justin Bieber faces backlash for ‘I love you’ comment on 17-year-old star Ariana Greenblatt’s post
A few simple words from Justin Bieber have triggered a heated debate online. The 30-year-old singer commented “I love youuuuuuuuu” on a photo shared by 17-year-old actress Ariana Greenblatt, leading to immediate backlash from many social media users.
Ariana had posted a photo promoting her new Netflix horror film Fear Street: Prom Queen, dressed in a dark, gothic look. The caption celebrated her excitement about the genre and her character, Christy Renault. The post quickly gained traction, not just for the film but for Bieber’s unexpected comment.
People online were quick to call out the singer. Many felt it crossed a line, pointing to Greenblatt’s age and Bieber’s status as a married adult. Some even went as far as calling for legal action, saying the comment was inappropriate for a minor.
“He’s married. She’s 17. What’s he doing?” one user asked. Others demanded he “back off,” calling it “weird” and “creepy.” A few voices tried to downplay the situation, saying it was just a harmless comment and arguing that fans were overreacting. “He’s just being supportive,” one user defended. “People are too quick to judge.”
Ariana Greenblatt, despite her age, is no stranger to fame. She began her career on Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle and has since made waves in big films like Avengers: Infinity War and Barbie. She’s already earned award nominations and built a solid following of over 3.8 million on Instagram.
The post in question had nothing to do with Bieber. It was a promotional piece for her film, but his comment shifted the focus. Neither Ariana nor Bieber has spoken publicly about the controversy yet.
This incident has once again opened up a broader conversation regarding how public figures should engage with younger stars on social media. At what point does a message of support become uncomfortable?
Whether the comment was meant as friendly encouragement or not, the reaction online shows how carefully watched celebrity interactions have become, especially when minors are involved. In a world where one comment can spark national debate, public figures need to remember that every word counts.
