Bollywood actor-filmmaker Randhir Kapoor tested positive for COVID-19 and was hospitalised on Thursday, authorities at Mumbai's Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital confirmed on Thursday. 

The actor, who had earlier said that he had no breathing issues, and therefore will not be needing an ICU bed, had to be shifted to get more COVID-19-related tests done. Speaking to a leading daily, Randhir said that the hospital staff is taking good care of him. "The hospital is taking very good care of me and I thank Tina Ambani. Everything is under control. They are going all out for me. The doctors are around all the time," he said.

“I have no clue how I got Covid. I am surprised. Let me also tell you that my entire staff of five members, too, has tested positive, and I have got them hospitalised with me in the Kokilaben Ambani Hospital," he had said. Randhir added that his wife Babita and their daughters Karisma and Kareena Kapoor have all tested negative for the disease.

Dr. Santosh Shetty of Kokilaben hospital told a news agency on Thursday that there was no cause for concern. “He was admitted to the hospital last night for Covid-19 treatment. He remains stable, there's nothing to worry,” he said.
