Sulagna Panigrahi, who stars on the historical show Vidrohi, has tested positive for COVID-19. After the actress’ diagnosis, the shooting location of the Star Plus series was fumigated by the makers. According to a statement issued by producers Subrat Sinha and Bodhisattva, the entire cast and crew were tested as a precautionary measure after they were informed about Sulagna’s diagnosis.

The production house Gaatha Films LLP said in the statement, “Actress Sulagna Panigrahi who is an integral part of the TV show 'Vidrohi’ has tested positive for COVID-19.

The 38-year-old had opened up about his health in an interview with HT and said, “I am feeling fine absolutely. I barely have any symptoms, they are extremely mild. I just have a scratchy throat, slight headache, nothing else. The makers of my show have been really kind, worried and supportive. They called me and said 'Don’t worry’ It is something that the entire world has been hit by.”
