Kareena Kapoor Khan, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, caught the virus at an ‘intimate dinner’, the actress’s spokesperson said.
Amid reports that Kareena and actress Amrita Arora had broken protocols and attended a party where they might have contracted the virus, her spokesperson said she has been extremely responsible throughout the pandemic and lockdowns.
“Kareena has been extremely responsible throughout the lockdown period. She has been careful every time she’s stepped out. Unfortunately, this time she and Amrita Arora contracted Covid at an intimate dinner where a few friends had gathered to catch up. It wasn’t a big party as being reported. Among that group, there was one person who seemed unwell and was coughing, and who eventually passed it on. This person should have been responsible enough to not attend the dinner and put others at risk,” the spokesperson told Filmfare.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) sanitised Kareena’s apartment complex, and sealed it on Tuesday morning.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar had criticised the actress. She said if people flout COVID-19 norms, strict action should be taken. “Kareena has two kids at home. It does not suit well to act carefree when the COVID-19 pandemic has not ended. We have contacted the Grand Hyatt Hotel where a party was held and Kareena attended it. We are tracing others who were present there,” the mayor said.
