    Veteran actor Shabana Azmi took to her social media handles late on Monday to announce that she has tested positive for the dangerous COVID-19. As soon as the announcement came, industry friends and colleagues were seen leaving warm comments on the post. The 71-year-old became the latest star to contract the viral disease after the positivity rate soared significantly in the last few months.

    Azmi is currently isolating at home, said her statement

    Sharing an old image of herself, the Arth star broke the news via Instagram. "Have tested positive for [COVID-19] today. Have isolated [me] at home and request all those who were in close contact with me to please get tested," read her caption. There was no information whether her family members, including her husband and poet/lyricist Javed Akhtar, have gotten tested.

    Boney Kapoor's 'Javed Saab' 'joke' won over netizens

    Divya Dutta, who starred alongside Azmi in Sheer Qorma, wrote, "Get well soon Shabana ji." Similar well-wishing notes came from fashion designer Manish Malhotra, actor Lillete Dubey, and jewelry designer Saba Ali Khan, to name a few. But film producer Boney Kapoor managed to lighten the mood with his comment. The old friend of Azmi-Akhtar joked: "Oh God, please stay away from Javed Saab."

No details about her symptoms, if any, were shared. We wish her a speedy recovery.
