Chandigarh/Mumbai, March 21
Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who returned from the US on Friday, said as a precautionary measure he will be self-isolating himself, amid coronavirus scare. The actor said he tested negative for coronavirus upon his arrival in the country.
“I have just landed. I was tested at the airport and I was given a clean chit. But on my own I will be staying at home. I’ve to go on self-isolation. We must,” Kher told PTI.
The actor was filming for TV series “New Amsterdam” in New York City for the past several weeks before the show halted production due to COVID-19.
On the other hand, Kher explained the importance of safe-distancing on Instagram, while Facetiming with his mother.
Sharing a clip on Instagram TV (IGTV), Kher wrote: “As a precaution I decided not to visit Mom after coming back from NY. So facetimed her instead. Initially she got angry but soon understood the importance of social distance. In this case mother-son distance. Both of us felt bad. पर क्या करे ? आजकल के माहौल में ये जरूरी है। But #DulariiRocks…Always.”
Kher not only practiced safe-distancing with his mother, but also with actor Anil Kapoor. Anil posted a hilarious video on Twitter, asking Kher, “America se kab wapis aye”.
The ‘Mr. India’ wrote: “#AKseesAK! Keeping up with traditions but from a distance!! #socialdistancing #staysafe.”
