Corona Alert: Behave Like Patient & Not Like Star, Hospital Tells Kanika Kapoor

Lucknow: Bollywood singer Kanika Kapoor’s “tantrums” have riled doctors at the Lucknow hospital where she is undergoing treatment after testing positive for coronavirus.

“Kanika Kapoor has been provided with the best that is possible in a hospital. She must co-operate as a patient and not throw tantrums of a star,” the Director of Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS) in Lucknow, Prof RK Dhiman, said in a curt statement on Saturday.

Dhiman added that Kanika must cooperate with the hospital “to help herself”.

Earlier, the singer had alleged that the room where she was kept was dusty and full of mosquitoes.

This prompted the hospital to come up with the statement. “She is being provided Gluten-free diet from the hospital kitchen. The facility provided to her is an isolated room with a toilet, patient-bed, and a television. The ventilation of her room is air-conditioned with a separate Air Handling Unit (AHU) for the COVID-19 unit,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, UP Health Minister Jai Pratap Singh and his family who attended the party where Kanika Kapoor was also present last week, have tested negative in the corona test.

Twenty-eight other guests who went into self-quarantine have also tested negative.
