Aishwarya and Aaradhya’s final reports came on July 12. They were then advised to quarantine themselves at home. However, a week later, both of them were shifted to the hospital.
Meanwhile, after their coronavirus tests, Jalsa was also declared a containment zone.

The coronavirus has hit several households in Bollywood, with members of staff working for Aamir Khan, Karan Johar and Boney Kapoor testing positive. Rekha’s bungalow was sealed after her security staff caught the virus. Several television actors have also tested positive.
