In the recent video which he has posted on his FB, the Padma Bhushan awardee had said, “Last two to three days I’ve been having some discomfort – chest congestion, phlegm, cold and fever on and off. I didn’t have any other problem, but I didn’t take it easy, went to the hospital and got checked. They said it is a very mild positive of Corona and you can stay home and self-quarantine while taking medications.”

He added, “I’m perfectly alright now, apart from a cold and slight fever. I will be discharged in two days; I’ve just come to the hospital to take rest and have my medication properly. Lots of people have been calling me to enquire, but I just want to state that I’m fine now. Thank you all so much for your concern.”
