Taking to her Instagram account, the television czarina revealed she has tested positive for COVID-19 despite abiding by all precautions. "I am fine and I request everyone who has come in contact with me to please test themselves," read her post further. Notably, Kapoor had met up with actress Neelam Kothari Soni and film producer Shabina Khan recently.

Information
