On September 3, she started developing labour pains and was rushed to the hospital. However, the doctors were not ready to admit her without taking a swab.

After her swab test, she tested positive for Coronavirus, following which the doctor who Amrita was consulting so far refused to admit her for delivery. However, a nearby doctor admitted her to his hospital as her labour pain intensified. The doctors opted for a Caesarean and at around 1 am, Amrita Gurav gave birth to an adorable baby girl.
