Neetu had also tested positive for Covid-19 last year, shortly after beginning work on her movie Jug Jug Jeeyo. "Earlier this week I tested positive for Covid- 19. All safety measures are being followed and I am thankful to the authorities for all their help and quick response. I am in self-quarantine, taking medication on my doctor’s advice and feeling better. I am so grateful for all your love and support! Please stay safe, wear a mask, keep safe distance. Take care," she had written in a post.

Ranbir spent most of his time during the lockdown last year with his girlfriend Alia Bhatt at his home. They were living there with his two dogs.

Ranbir was working on a few projects before he was found to be coronavirus positive. He has Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra with Alia and Amitabh Bachchan, period epic Shamshera, Animal with Sandeep Reddy Vanga and an untitled film with Shraddha Kapoor.
