A few days ago, Varun Dhawan on Instagram had revealed that he has been tested positive for Covid-19.

The actor had posted, “So as I returned to work in the pandemic era I have contracted #covid_19 All precautions were taken by the production but still nothing is certain in life especially not covid-19. So please be extra careful I believe I could have been more careful. I see the get well soon messages and my spirits are high taking each day at a time ?? thank u.”

Well, recently we interacted with Varun’s Coolie No. 1 co-star Sahil Vaid and asked him about the actor’s health, to which he said, “He has got mild symptoms. I messaged him, the moment I came to know about it. It took him a day to reply as he was probably still trying to understand how he got it. He takes care of himself well. But this only shows that we have to take this very seriously. It can happen to anyone, it doesn’t matter how protected you think you are or how much care you are taking of yourself. You need to really open your eyes to this now. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and be serious about this.”

“Varun is taking care of himself and he will be back better than ever before. He is already on the path to recovery, and I think after this he will really value the social distancing norm once again. He will go back to Chandigarh shooting Jug Jugg Jeeyo,” Sahil added.

Sahil and Varun have earlier worked together in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania. Coolie No. 1 will be their third film together.

Directed by David Dhawan, Coolie No. 1 is slated to release on Amazon Prime Video on 25th December 2020.
