Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna
Earlier it was reported that Akshay Kumar would skip the grand wedding celebration of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant after he tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the ceremony date of July 12. However, the actor turned up to congratulate the couple on Monday evening at the final reception. He was accompanied by his author-wife Twinkle Khanna.
Earlier, it was reported that Akshay has been tested positive for COVID. A source close to the production house mentioned to 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. 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."
It seems like Akshay Kumar has recovered. However, netizens took to the comment section of the videos about the actor's covid diagnosis. "Wasn't he COVID positive?" asked several netizens.
Akshay was last seen in public on July 9 for the screening of his latest release 'Sarfira'.
