Karan Johar tests negative for COVID-19, slams media reports saying, 'my home is certainly no 'hotspot' of Covid'

Karan Johar took to Instagram to clarify that he did not throw any ‘party’ but only hosted an ‘intimate gathering’ for eight people, and has been following all protocols of COVID-19. The filmmaker's statement comes shortly after Kareena Kapoor Khan, Amrita Arora, Maheep Kapoor and Seema Khan, who attended a gathering at his home, tested positive for COVID-19. The director began his statement by revealing that he and his family have tested negative for the virus. 

“My family and I and everyone at home have done their RTPCR tests and with the grace of god we are all negative! In fact, I tested twice just to be safe and am negative. I truly appreciate the grandest efforts of the BMC to ensure the safety of our city. Salute to them,” Karan wrote.

Addressing some media reports, Karan wrote, “To some members of the media, I would like (to) clarify that an eight people intimate gathering is not a 'party' and my home, which we maintain strict protocols in, is certainly no 'hotspot' of Covid. All of us are responsible and masked at all times and no one would treat this pandemic lightly. My request to certain members of the media is to exercise some restraint in their extreme reportage without the assessment of facts! Lots of love and safety to all.” 

On Tuesday, sanitation workers were photographed spraying disinfectant at Karan Johar as well as Kareena Kapoor's houses.
