After Amitabh and Abhishek, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan tests Covid-19 positive
Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her daughter tested positive for coronavirus on Sunday, a day after her father-in-law and top Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan and her husband and actor Abhishek were hospitalised for Covid-19.
Maharashtra state health minister Rajesh Tope said in a tweet that Aishwarya and her eight-year-old daughter had tested positive for the virus that causes the disease.
It was not clear whether they had been admitted to hospital, as Amitabh and Abhishek were on Saturday, when they said they had mild symptoms.
Hospital officials and government health authorities said earlier on Sunday that Amitabh and his Abhishek were in stable condition.
Aishwarya (46), a former Miss World who often features on "most beautiful" lists, has worked on several Bollywood and Hollywood films. She is a brand ambassador for several multinational companies.
India on Sunday registered a record increase in the number of novel coronavirus cases taking the total number of affected people in the country to nearly 850,000 forcing authorities to re-impose partial lockdown in some densely populated areas.
Federal health ministry data showed that more than 27,100 new cases reported in the last 24 hours while the death toll increased to 22,674, after 551 people succumbed in a day.
