Music composer Jeet Gannguli too confirmed having tested positive with mild symptoms a few days ago. Speaking of his condition to The Times of India, an English daily, Gannguli said, “I have mild symptoms and I’m keeping more or less fine except for a slight temperature at the moment. I had a temperature, severe bodyache and throat infection, so my doctor asked me to get tested and the report came positive. He has advised home isolation, a few medications and steam for timely recovery.” The music director had to cancel a few shows in Kolkata as a result.
