Getting into the details, one of Shilpa’s friends visited them a couple of weeks ago. 5 days later, someone in the friend’s family tested positive. Worried, Shilpa and her husband got themselves tested and found that they were Corona positive even though they both were asymptomatic with no COVID-19 symptoms. However, Shilpa and her husband quarantined themselves.

Shilpa released a video on her Instagram in which she said that she and her husband were given a go-ahead by the authorities to carry on with their daily routine. She urged everyone to practice yoga and exercise regularly to develop a healthy body and improve their immune system to prevent the virus.
