On April 4, Kanika's family spoke to a news channel and shared their side of the story.
“Kanika was given a change of clothes - a medical gown - and the doctors asked Kanika to change behind a curtain in the room. Kanika had expressed her displeasure over this, and later on, about the dirt in the quarantine ward, which she asked the staff to clean. On this, the PGI administration accused her of throwing starry tantrums. Kanika has fully cooperated with the doctors regarding her illness and now Kanika has no symptoms of Covid-19. She is just waiting for the report to be negative and only then will she be allowed to leave the hospital,” said Kapoor's family to the news channel.
According to the latest reports, Kanika has finally tested negative for the deadly virus in her sixth test.
