Indian Idol 12 Contestant Pawandeep Rajan Tests COVID-19 Positive

Mumbai: Indian Idol 12’s popular contestant, Pawandeep Rajan, has tested positive for coronavirus. The Uttarakhand resident has been put under quarantine and will be performing virtually in the coming episodes. Earlier this week, host Aditya Narayan had also tested positive for COVID-19, The Indian Express (TIE) reported.

While most contestants are in a kind of bio bubble, given the surge in cases in the state, the risk factor has increased. As soon as he started showing symptoms, he was immediately isolated and tested. After his results came positive, other contestants, judges and crew have also been tested, and their reports are expected soon, TIE quoted a source as saying.

“It’s unfortunate that something like this happened. While Aditya was not shooting when he tested positive, Pawandeep’s reports did cause the team a little worry. However, none of the other contestants have shown any symptoms, and we are hopeful everyone’s result will come negative. Pawandeep, too is doing fine, and is looking forward to being back on the set soon,” added the source.

There is no audience in Indian Idol 12  and shields have been put up between judges’ chairs to maintain social distance. The set was also sanitised and fumigated following the protocols.
