Akshay Kumar Tests Positive for COVID-19, Misses Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s Wedding

Akshay Kumar is well-known for being one of the most disciplined and hard-working celebs in the industry. For the last few weeks, he has also been one of the busiest bees, deeply involved in the promotions of his much-anticipated film “Sarfira,” which released today. 

Fans expected the superstar to take a break from the hectic promotional spree to attend Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding today, especially after the groom personally went to the actor’s house to invite him. However, Akshay will miss the event of the year, along with the final leg of “Sarfira” promotions, because he has tested positive for COVID-19.

A source close to the production house exclusively told HT City, “Akshay Kumar had been promoting his latest release Sarfira when he felt unwell and decided to get tested after being told that some crew members of his promotions team had tested positive for COVID-19. 

The actor tested positive on Friday morning and would end up missing the last leg of promotions, as well as Anant Ambani’s wedding, for which Anant had personally gone to invite him. It’s disappointing but the responsible guy that Akshay is, he has immediately isolated himself.”

With the onset of the monsoon, COVID-19 has been striking again, and Akshay is one of the many affected.

Sarfira*, an official adaptation of the 2020 Tamil film Soorarai Pottru, arrived in theatres today. Helmed by filmmaker Sudha Kongara, the drama also stars Paresh Rawal, Radhikka Madan, and Tamil superstar Suriya in a cameo. 

While Akshay will be missing Anant and Radhika’s wedding, several international celebrities have flown in to attend the starry affair hosted by Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani. Reality show stars Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian arrived in Mumbai last night, while global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas returned to India with her husband, American singer Nick Jonas.
