Coronavirus update: Rakul Preet Singh tests positive for COVID-19

Actress Rakul Preet Singh on Tuesday revealed that she had tested positive for the coronavirus.

The actress shared a note on Instagram that read, "I'd like to inform everyone that I have tested positive for COVID-19. I have quarantined myself. I'm feeling fine and will rest up well so that I can get back at shoot soon. Request everyone who met me kindly get yourself tested. Thank you and please stay safe (sic)."

Singh had started shooting for Ajay Devgn's third directorial venture, Mayday (2022). The film, which sees the actress play a pilot, went on the floors last week. The thriller also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Devgn himself. 

In this month alone, quite a few figures from the Hindi film industry tested positive for COVID-19, starting with actor Sunny Deol, a member of Parliament who represents Punjab's Gurdaspur seat. Just a couple of days later, Varun Dhawan, Neetu Singh, and director Raj Mehta, all of whom were shooting for the film Jugjugg Jeeyo in Chandigarh, also tested positive for the coronavirus. A week later, Kriti Sanon, who was shooting with Rajkummar Rao and Dimple Kapadia in Chandigarh for newcomer director Abhishek Jain's untitled film, also tested positive for the virus.
