Rapper Raftaar is the latest celebrity to test positive for COVID-19. The singer-music composer is asymptomatic and currently in isolation at home.

Raftaar had gotten tested before starting the shoot for MTV reality show Roadies. The rapper shared an update about his health with his fans through a series of Instagram Stories on Wednesday and assured his fans that he is "fit and fine" and told them not to worry about him. 

In his Instagram Stories, Raftaar announced his COVID-19 diagnosis in Hindi and said: "Hi everybody, wanted to share a quick update with you. I had to go on Roadies. For that, I had to undergo a COVID-19 test. My first two reports were negative. However, my third test result that came today is positive. The BMC [Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation] has asked me to stay in isolation, so I have isolated myself at home."

"I am waiting for my next COVID-19 test as I feel there's a technical error because I'm fit and fine. I am not feeling unwell and I don't think I have the disease because I don't have any symptoms. However, it's my duty to isolate myself and I assure you all that I am fit and fine. I will update you about my health. Don't worry," he added.
