Possibly the first high-profile COVID-19 positive case in India, Kanika Kapoor was subjected to "much online scrutiny for allegedly having attended public events after returning from the UK, instead of self-quarantining," according to a news portal.
Kanika had been admitted to the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS) in Lucknow. Speaking on Kanika's condition, Prof RK Dhiman, the director of the institute, said that the singer’s "condition is stable" and there is no need to worry.
The Lovely hitmaker had earlier shared an emotional post on Instagram. Hoping that she tests negative, Kanika shared: "Life teaches us to make good use of time, while time teaches us the value of life."
She concluded, saying: "Going off to bed. Sending you all loving vibes. Stay safe you guys. Thank you for your concern but I am not in the ICU. I am fine. I hope my next test is negative. Waiting to go home to my kids and family...miss them!"
