Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan tested positive for coronavirus. Varun took to Instagram on Monday to share that he contracted the virus while filming for Jug Jugg Jeeyo.

Varun Dhawan posted on Instagram: “When I returned to work in the era of the pandemic, I contracted COVID-19. The production took all the precautions, but there is nothing safe in life yet, especially not covid-19. So be very careful, I think I could have been more careful. I see the messages for you to get well soon and my spirits are very high taking each day at the same time 🙏🤍 thank you “.

The statement follows reports that suggested that Varun Dhawan, Neetu Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and director Raj Mehta contracted coronavirus on the sets of Jug Jugg Jeeyo in Chandigarh. While Anil took to Twitter on December 4 to refute the reports, saying have tested negative for COVID-19, sources close to the Kapoor family said Neetu’s test results came back positive.

All actors and crew were tested for coronavirus before starting work on Jug Jugg Jeeyo. Neetu Kapoor had shared a photo before starting the shoot and had mentioned that everyone was “Covid-proof and safe.”
