Coming back to the COVID-19 scenario in India, the surge in cases has again affected the entertainment industry.

Meanwhile, many stars like Aamir Khan, Arjun Rampal, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Sameera Reddy and others have tested positive for COVID-19. On the other hand, celebrities like Ranbir Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Vicky Kaushal, Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar and others have recently recovered from the virus.
