Kanika
Kapoor,
best
known
for
'Baby
Doll'
song
from
Sunny
Leone's
Ragini
MMS
2,
is
the
first
Bollywood
celebrity
to
test
positive
for
Coronavirus.
The
singer
was
admitted
to
the
King
George's
Medical
University
(KGMU)
hospital
in
Lucknow.
Before
Kanika
took
to
her
Instagram
page
to
confirm
the
news
and
issue
an
official
statement,
there
were
rumours
on
social
media
alleging
that
she
returned
from
the
United
Kingdom
on
Sunday
and
hid
her
travel
history
from
the
authorities.
There
were
reports
that
she
also
hosted
a
lavish
party
for
her
friends
and
family
at
a
five-star
hotel
in
Lucknow
thereafter.
While
speaking
with
Aaj
Tak,
Kanika's
father
Rajiv
Kapoor
revealed
that
she
attended
three
parties
after
returning
to
Lucknow
from
London
last
week.
He
told
the
news
channel,
"Six
of
us
in
our
family
are
undergoing
test
today
at
4pm.
Kanika
has
attended
three
parties
after
her
arrival.
She
came
in
contact
with
around
350-400
people
in
three
parties.
Along
with
Kanika,
we
are
also
in
isolation."
However,
Kanika
denied
her
father's
claims
in
a
telephonic
interview
with
Aaj
Tak
and
said,
"I
attended
a
small
get
together
on
March
13.
My
father
can't
say
this
that
I
attended
three
parties.
I
tried
my
level
best
not
to
contaminate
others.
Throughout
the
past
week,
we
were
all
wearing
gloves."
She
slammed
rumours
of
dodging
airport
authorities
after
landing
in
Lucknow
and
told
the
news
channel,
"I
am
an
educated
and
hardworking
girl.
I
was
part
of
the
scanning
process
at
the
airport.
I
also
called
the
CMO
to
check
me
and
filled
all
forms
at
the
airport."
The
'Chittiyaan
Kalaiyaan'
singer
also
said
that
she
is
anxious
in
the
quarantine,
adding,
"I
am
isolated
and
have
fever.
I
am
in
the
hospital
and
do
not
have
water
also.
When
I
spoke
to
the
doctor,
he
threatened
to
file
a
case
against
me
rather
than
helping
me.
I
am
in
quarantine
right
now.
Last
evening
only,
they
tested
me
and
found
results," revealed
Kanika.
She
also
spoke
to
Republic
TV
and
addressed
the
rumours
of
hiding
the
symptoms.
Kanika
clarified
that
she
approached
the
authorities
and
requested
them
to
perform
the
COVID-19
test
on
her
following
her
persisting
symptoms.
