The Covid-19 scare is back in Bollywood after actress Kareena Kapoor and some of her friends tested positive of the virus recently. Apparently, this happened after they had a get together at filmmaker Karan Johar's house on 8th of December. This has put Kareena, Karan and their friends into crosshairs of authorities and people who are accusing them of ignoring the Covid-19 guidelines by having a party and thus creating a Covid hotspot.

Karan Johar has now responded to these gossips by sharing a statement clarifying the whole situation. He took to his Instagram stories and wrote, "My family and I and everyone at home have done their RTPCR tests and with the grace of God we are all negative. In fact, I tested twice just to be safe and am negative. I truly appreciate the grandest efforts of the BMC to ensure the safety of our city. Salute to them. To some members of the media, I would like to clarify that an 8 people intimate gathering is not a ‘party.’ And my home which we maintain strict protocols in is certainly no ‘hotspot’ of covid.”

Karan concluded by saying, "All of us are responsible and masked at all times and no one would treat this pandemic lightly. My request to certain members of the media is to exercise some restraint in their extreme reportage without the assessment of facts! Lots of love and safety to all. Karan Johar.”
