Mumbai: A week after receiving the first dose of coronavirus vaccine, Bollywood actor Ashutosh Rana informed that he has tested COVID positive.
Rana is not the first artist to contract the virus after being vaccinated. Nagma had also tested positive post her first jab, so did Paresh Rawal.
In a long Facebook post, Rana wrote in Hindi that his family, including actor-wife Renuka Shahane, has also got tested and their reports will be available on Thursday.
“I learnt today that I have tested positive for the coronavirus. I immediately took measures in that direction. I am hopeful that with God’s grace, I will recover very soon. I have got my entire family tested, the report of which will come tomorrow. But whosoever came in contact with me after April 7, please get yourself tested,” Rana wrote.
Rana, an accomplished actor whose recent film ‘Pagglait’ is streaming on Netflix, and Renuka received the first dose of the vaccine on April 6, when the latter shared a picture of herself and Rana from the vaccination centre on Twitter.
