Mumbai: Hours after his family members tested positive for coronavirus, senior actor Anupam Kher, during early hours on Tuesday, said that his mother Dulari has been shifted to an isolation ward while his brother Raju's family is in home-quarantine.
Kher who had earlier revealed to his fans about the COVID-19 diagnosis of his mother and brother's family took to Twitter to share another video update where he is seen thanking his fans for the support.
"Thank you, my dear friends, for your messages and blessings that you have sent in for the speedy recovery of my mother Dulari, (brother) Raju and his family. I can't respond to each of the messages on social media personally but I want to thank you all with all my heart," he said.
"It is natural to feel anxious when four people of the family have been diagnosed with coronavirus but in these times I got the support of you people and that gave me some comfort and positivity," he added.
Giving an update about his family's health condition, Kher said: "My mummy has been shifted to the isolation ward and Raju and his family is in-home quarantine. I am sure they are under the supervision of good doctors and they will recover soon."
Before ending the video message, the 65-year-old actor urged people to take social distancing and their safety seriously.
"Another thing that I wanted to add is that the terms 'social distancing' and 'stay safe' are not just expressions they are the reality. It is very important to take them very seriously," the Saaransh actor said.
