‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’: Producer Rajan Shahi confirms Swati Chitnis, Sachin Tyagi & Samir Onkar have tested positive for Covid-19

The Coronavirus scare is taking a toll on everyone’s life. While the shooting of shows and films have resumed and all guidelines of the state government are being followed but that didn’t stop the virus from infecting three leading actors of ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’. Producer Rajan Shahi has confirmed that Swati Chitnis, Sachin Tyagi, Samir Onkar have tested positive for Covid-19.

The show’s producer Rajan Shahi in his official statement said, “Actors Swati Chitnis, Sachin Tyagi, Samir Onkar, who are an integral part of ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’, have tested positive for Covid-19, but the three of them are asymptomatic. Due to safety reasons, they are in-home quarantine. BMC had advised them for the same as they were showing no symptoms. Immediately, the entire on-crew team was isolated and tested. Four crew members have now tested positive. The BMC has been informed and the entire set has been sanitised and fumigated. Currently, all of them are receiving medical attention in-home quarantine. We are constantly in touch with them as their health is our priority. We stand by our commitment to safety and will continue to ensure that all safety and precautionary measures are adhered to.”

Actor Sachin Tyagi also released a statement saying, “I have tested positive for Covid-19. Inspite of all the precautions that we took, it has happened and now I have to accept it and hope for the best. I am isolated at home and following all the health guidelines. I fell ill and went for the dengue test as all the symptoms were suggesting dengue. Dengue did come positive but so did Covid. The good part is that I am asymptomatic so no real reason to worry. I want to thank everyone for their concern and all the good wishes that have been pouring in.
Hoping for a speedy recovery and rejoining work soon.”

Whereas Samir Onkar said, “For the first time in my life I feel being positive is not so cool. Luckily I am asymptotic so there are not such reactions. But I have self-isolated myself and also taking care of my diet and also doing some breathing exercise. God is great, everything will be fine.”
