Smriti has joined the list of politicians and ministers who have tested positive for Coronavirus. From Home Minister Amit Shah, late President Pranab Mukherjee, to Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, many politicians had tested positive earlier.

Divya Dutta, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, and others have wished for the speedy recovery of the Union Minister. We, on behalf of Bollywood Bubble also wish she recovers soon from the virus.
