While the Government has asked to resume the serial and the film shoots adhering to the protocols, many of the pending production and post-working works have started to go on in full swing.
Though the sets are being sanitised properly and are being shot with much precautions, in another turn of events, the shooting schedule of popular TV serial Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has been put to a halt as three actors and four crew members were tested positive for the novel virus.
Producer Rajan Shahi has released an official statement which reads, “Actors Swati Chitnis, Sachin Tyagi, Samir Onkar, who are an integral part of 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai', have tested positive for COVID-19, but the three of them are asymptomatic. Due to safety reasons, they are in home quarantine. BMC had advised them for the same as they were showing no symptoms.”
He continued, “Immediately, the entire on-crew team was isolated and tested. Four crew members have now tested positive. The BMC has been informed and the entire set has been sanitized and fumigated. Currently, all of them are receiving medical attention in home quarantine. We are constantly in touch with them as their health is our priority. We stand by our commitment to safety and will continue to ensure that all safety and precautionary measures are adhered to.”
