While it is great that after a whole year of staying put at home, people are finally resuming work, it still comes with its risks as the chances of contracting the Coronavirus is still as high.

Just last week, we received news of veteran actor/filmmaker Satish Kaushik contracting the virus. Now, just today, the Pyaar Ka Punchnama actor, Kartik Aaryan, has informed everyone that he has also tested positive.

The actor took to his Instagram to post a picture of a large positive ‘plus’ sign. In the caption, he wrote “Positive ho gaya. Dua karo (I have tested positive. Pray for me)”, with a face-palm and a folded hands emoji.

Check it out:

This news comes just two days after the actor walked the ramp for designer Manish Malhotra at The Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. He was joined by his Bhool Bhulaiyya 2 co-star, actress Kiara Advani.

Kartik and Kiara began shooting for Bhool Bhulaiyya 2 after the lockdown was lifted. Just a few days ago, Kartik shared a picture from the sets of the film as they were joined by Tabu, who stayed in a bio bubble on sets so as to protect herself from infections.

Have a look at his post:

Right before Bhool Bhulaiyya 2, Kartik shot for Dhamaka, which he wrapped in just 10 days! The film is being directed by Ram Madhvani and the teaser just dropped two weeks ago.

Here’s wishing the actor a speedy recovery.
