Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
recently
took
to
his
social
media
handle
to
inform
his
followers
that
he
and
his
family
members
have
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
Later,
while
speaking
with
a
news
portal,
the
Saaho
actor
opened
up
about
battling
the
infectious
virus.
Talking
about
how
he
and
his
family
members
came
to
know
that
they
have
contracted
COVID-19,
Neil
told
Bollywood
Hungama,
"You
can
imagine
how
tough
it
is
for
me
to
know
Nurvi
(his
daughter)
is
with
the
virus.
She's
tested
positive.
But,
luckily
she
is
not
in
any
discomfort.
She
was
down
with
fever
the
first
two
days,
and
that's
how
we
all
got
ourselves
tested.
Papa
(Nitin
Mukesh),
Naman
(Neil's
brother),
Rukmini
(Neil's
wife),
and
Nurvi
(Neil's
daughter)
have
all
tested
positive,
but
as
of
now
my
Mom
is
okay."
Neil
revealed
that
he
and
his
family
members
have
mild
symptoms
while
his
brother
Naman
is
asymptomatic.
"The
worst
thing
is
there
are
no
hard
and
fast
rules
in
this.
Every
person
gets
it
in
a
different
way.
Right
now,
the
symptoms
are
mild
in
all
of
us.
Please
pray
that
it
stays
that
way.
Even
Papa
who
is
above
70
is
doing
okay,
as
of
now.
My
brother
Naman
is
asymptomatic," Bollywood
Hungama
quoted
the
actor
as
saying.
Further,
Neil
wished
a
quick
death
for
the
pandemic
and
urged
fans
to
pray
for
his
family
members.
He
said,
"It
(COVID-19)
must
be
defeated
the
soonest.
And
for
that
we
all
need
to
exercise
the
utmost
caution.
Please
follow
all
the
guidelines.
Please,
stay
at
home
as
much
possible.
And
please
pray
for
our
family."
Earlier,
Neil
had
shared
a
statement
on
his
and
his
family's
COVID-19
diagnosis
on
his
Instagram
page.
It
read,
"Despite
all
necessary
precautions,
including
staying
home,
unfortunately,
members
of
my
family
and
I
have
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
We
are
all
home
quarantined,
following
the
essential
protocols
and
taking
medication
as
prescribed
by
our
doctors.
We
thank
all
of
you
for
your
love
and
good
wishes.
Take
care
and
stay
safe!
Need
all
your
love
and
blessings.
Please
do
not
take
the
situation
out
there
lightly."
Workwise,
Neil
was
last
seen
in
the
2019
film

which
was
helmed
by
his
brother
Naman
Nitin
Mukesh.
