Actor, Former Miss India World Natasha Suri Tests COVID-19 Positive

Mumbai: Actor and former Miss India World Natasha Suri tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and is in home quarantine, The Indian Express (TIE) reported.

Suri, 31, said she had gone to Pune earlier this month and fell sick on her return to Mumbai.

“I had gone to Pune taking all the necessary precautions. When I came back, on August 3, I fell sick. I had fever, sore throat so I got myself tested and it turned out COVID-19 positive,” the actor told PTI.

Suri, who made her big-screen debut with the 2016 Malayalam comedy King Liar, said her sister and grandmother have also been tested, the report added.

“My family members also started feeling sick so I am strictly quarantining at home, taking medications. They have also undergone tests, their reports are awaited,” she was quoted as saying by TIE.

She added that she would have to skip the promotional activities of her upcoming MX Player series, Dangerous, co-starring Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover, the report added.

“We were all gearing up for the promotions but now I won’t be able to participate. I was looking forward to it because we had worked so hard for the project. There were things that were planned but nothing can be done now,” Suri said in the TIE report.

Written by Vikram Bhatt and directed by Bhushan Patel, Dangerous will premiere on August 14.
