My father has been hospitalized recently, but he has been tested negative both the time. In home quarantine right now. Rest of my family members will be testing for COVID-19 too. These are the trying times.
Actress Ganguly had announced her pregnancy in May.
The director, meanwhile, had been attending office regularly but had told all his staff to work from home. He has also not started shooting for any film. So he is a little worried how he contracted the virus.
Fans and admirers have been sending good wishes and prayers for the couple and the unborn child since Chakraborty posted his tweet.
