R Madhavan tests positive for COVID-19

Bollywood actor R Madhavan shared that he has been tested positive for Covid-19 and is recovering well.

The 50-year-old actor took to Twitter and gave the health update to his fans, referencing his film 3 Idiots.

Like his character Farhan from the film, Madhavan quipped he had followed in the footsteps of Khan's Rancho here too. The virus, he said, caught up with the duo in real life.

In the film, actor Boman Irani's Viru Sahastrabuddhe, a strict college principal, was nicknamed Virus.

"Farhan has to follow Rancho and Virus has always been after us but this time he bloody caught up. But all is well and the COVID will be in the Well soon," he tweeted.

Madhavan said he doesn't want their friend Raju, the character played by Sharman Joshi, to follow them to the same place. "Thank you for all the love. I am recuperating well," he added.

Recently, several other Bollywood celebrities, including Kartik Aaryan, Manoj Bajpayee, Ranbir Kapoor and Satish Kaushik contracted the virus.
