Naagin 5 actor Sharad Malhotra is the newest TV celeb who has tested positive for novel coronavirus. Sharad confirmed the development in his recent interaction and is currently observing home quarantine. His wife, Ripci Bhatia, fortunately, has tested negative for the same. It's still unclear if his Naagin 5 cast members including Surbhi Chandan will be asked to get themselves tested considering the actor was shooting with them since the past many days. Sharad currently has mild symptoms and is under medical supervision. Ansh Bagri, Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji Actor, Tests Positive For COVID-19.
