Popular singer Kanika Kapoor had become the first Indian celebrity to have been affected with Coronavirus when the outbreak was at its earlier stage in the country. Post which, she was tested positive for five times consecutively and for the sixth time only, she was tested negative reportedly.
It was reported that just a day before she was tested positive, she had thrown a lavish party to her friends. However, she has now opened up about it in her latest statement. Slamming all the allegations made against her, she said all these while she had “chosen to be silent till now.”
In the statement, she wrote, “Every person that I have come in contact with be it in UK, Mumbai or Lucknow has shown no symptoms of Covid-19. In fact all those tested have been negative. I travelled from UK to Mumbai on March 10 and was duly screened at the international airport. I travelled to Lucknow the following day on March 11 to see my family. There was no screening set up for domestic flights.”
“On March 14 and 15 I attended a friend's lunch and dinner. There was no party hosted by me and I was in absolute normal health. I had symptoms on March 17 and 18 so I requested to be tested.On 20 March when informed that my test was positive, I chose to go to the hospital. I was discharged after their negative tests and have since been at home for 21 days. I want to especially thank the doctors and nurses who have so graciously taken care of me during a very emotionally testing time. I hope that all can deal with this matter with honesty and sensitivity. Negativity thrown at a person can't change the reality."
