According

Get

Deepika!"
The
Chhapaak
actor's
father's
close
friend
Vimal
Kumar
had
told
PTI,
"Around
10
days
back,
Prakash,
his
wife
(Ujjala)
and
second
daughter
(Anisha),
they
developed
symptoms
and
got
themselves
tested
and
the
results
came
out
to
be
positive.
They
got
themselves
isolated
but
after
a
week
Prakash's
fever
didn't
come
down,
so
last
Saturday,
he
was
admitted
to
a
hospital
here
in
Bengaluru.
He
is
okay
now.
All
his
parameters
are
fine,
his
wife
and
daughter
are
at
home
and
he
too
will
be
hopefully
discharged
in
2-3
days."

helpline
numbers
on
her
social
media
for
people
who

been
battling

health
issues
during
the
COVID-19
second
wave.
The
actor
had
also
shared
a
hard-hitting
message
with
the
same,
stating,
"As
millions
of
us
(I
and
my
family
included)
strive
to
stay
afloat,
let
us
not
forget
that
our
emotional
well-being
in
this
current
crisis,
is
equally
important.
Remember,
You
Are
Not
Alone.
We
are
in
this
Together.
And
most
importantly,
there
is
Hope."
