for
COVID-19.
The

was

In
an
interaction
with
a
leading
tabloid,
actor
Rohit
Roy
shared
an
update
on
their
health.
He
told
Hindustan
Times
that
the
hospitalisation
was
a
precautionary
measure
after
Chopra
and
his
wife
contracted
COVID-19.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"He
is
absolutely
fine.
He
is
responding
well
to
medicines.
He
and
Uma
aunty
are
both
are
fine.
They
were
taken
to
the
hospital
to
administer
the
medication.
They
will
recover
at
home.
There
is
no
need
for
paranoia."
Rohit
told
the
news
portal
that
they
both
are
fine
and
are
responding
well
to
the
medicines.
He
further
assured
fans
that
the
senior
actor
and
his
wife
will
recover
at
home
and
there
is
no
need
for
paranoia.
"He
is
absolutely
fine.
He
is
responding
well
to
medicines.
He
and
Uma
aunty
are
both
are
fine.
They
were
taken
to
the
hospital
to
administer
the
medication.
They
will
recover
at
home.
There
is
no
need
for
paranoia," Roy
told
the
daily.
Rohit
further
said
that
his
family
is
being
very
cautious,
especially
since
his
75-year-old
mother
is
living
with
them.
The
Shootout
At
Lokhandwala
actor
said,
"We
have
to
be
cautious
every
day.
Not
just
our
family,
we
must
be
cautious
about
everyone
around
us.
But
we
are
not
paranoid.
I
refuse
to
be
paranoid
about
it.
We
need
to
just
follow
the
guidelines
and
the
social
distancing
norms
and
wear
masks.
We
can
really
fight
it
out
this
way."
Rohit
further
shared
that
he
is
trying
to
educate
himself
about
the
new
variant
of
the
virus
so
that
he
can
inform
others
around
him.
"People
think
Covid
is
over,
and
we
are
all
vaccinated.
But
from
what
we
are
seeing,
vaccination
has
got
nothing
to
do
with
whether
a
person
will
contract
Covid
or
not.
I
have
been
in
touch
with
a
doctor
in
the
US.
He
tells
me
that
this
is
another
variant
of
the
virus
and
it
is
much
softer
and
a
non
fatal
variant
of
the
Delta
variant.
That
is
one
we
should
have
been
worried
about.
But
we
dealt
with
it
very
well.
Omicron
is
going
to
spread
very
fast
but
it
is
not
fatal," the
actor
said.
For
the
unversed,
Rohit
is
related
to
Prem
Chopra
as
his
brother-in-law,
actor
Sharman
Joshi
is
married
to
the
veteran
actor's
daughter,
Prerana.
