Karan Tacker 'angry and appalled' after falsely testing positive for COVID-19, says 'my family had to go through so much trauma'

Currently enjoying all the praise coming his way for his impressive act in Neeraj Pandey’s high-octane web series, Special Ops, actor Karan Tacker has been making headlines for his seamless transition from television to the web. Portraying the character of RAW agent Farooq Ali, the talented actor sure has become a director's favourite with his recent show. 

Karan, who enjoys a huge fanbase all across recently was reported to be tested coronavirus positive. However, what comes as a great surprise is that all reports claiming that the star tested coronavirus positive are completely false. Denying all such rumours, Karan Tacker revealed how after landing in the capital city, he got himself tested twice and both the reports stated his result as negative. Confirming the same, Karan said in an official statement, "Unfortunately, I tested positive when I landed in Delhi despite having no symptoms since the test performed was not complete. Fortunately, I got myself retested the same day and it came negative. Just to be sure, later again, I got my entire family also tested and everything came negative so am really happy about that."

He also talked about the horrifying experience of testing positive falsely. He said, “They didn’t even help me find a COVID facility, I had to do everything on my own,” he said. “Thankfully, I didn’t crack under the pressure and decided I needed to be sure and got two more tests done in Delhi from two different labs. I also asked my family to get tested in Mumbai and all the results were negative.”

Karan also expressed his anger at the Mumbai lab through which he got his test done. “I am angry and appalled by the faulty test that was the reason for my family going through so much trauma. The BMC was calling my house as also the medical services while the floors were being sanitised. And it was all happening in Mumbai while I was isolated in Delhi. Since I hadn’t met anyone in months except my family and my second result came the same day and was negative, I didn’t want to create unnecessary panic by telling people what had happened. But it was terrible and in the last two days I haven’t slept a wink,” the actor said.

Well, that's definitely some great news for all Karan Tacker fans out there!
