After getting this information, we have contacted her and discussed this matter with her. If Bollywood's famous singer Kanika Kapoor would like to donate her plasma corner to the infected patients, we are welcoming such a decision of her."
Reportedly, Kanika Kapoor returned to her home in Lucknow from city's Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) after battling Covid-19 for days.
After testing coronavirus-positive for five times in a row, the singer tested negative for the novel coronavirus in her sixth test and was discharged from the hospital, sources said.
