NEW DELHI: Veteran Bollywood star Jaya Bachchan tested positive for COVID-19 on January 31 and is since under isolation, reported the Indian media.
A Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official on Friday confirmed the same in a statement that said, “Today is the 5th day since Jaya Bachchan tested covid positive.”
Bachchan’s positive diagnosis comes just days after her Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani co-star Shabana Azmi announced that she had contracted COVID-19; the two had been shooting for the Karan Johar film together in Delhi.
