Ranbir Kapoor's mother Neetu Kapoor has confirmed that her son has tested positive for coronavirus and is currently quarantining at home. "Thank you for your concern and your good wishes. Ranbir has tested positive for Covid-19. He is on medication and recovering well. He is in self quarantine at home and following all precautions", Neetu wrote on Instagram.
Earlier, Ranbir's uncle Randhir Kapoor had told Pinkvilla that the actor isn't well, but he couldn't confirm the nature of the illness.
"I believe he is not well but I am not sure about the nature of the illness. I am not in town", Randhir Kapoor told the publication.
Since last year, a number of Bollywood celebrities have tested positive for coronavirus. Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya, Neetu Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Malaika Arora and others had taken to their social media handles to inform fans that they had contracted COVID-19.
On the work front, Ranbir has been quite busy shooting for films. He has been working on Karan Malhotra's Shamshera and Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra. Brahmastra marks Ranbir and Alia's first film together.
