We had recently reported about how Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Tanmay Vekaria aka Bagha's building in Kandivali West has been sealed after 3 positive cases were detected. And now, another of the SAB TV sitcom's cast member has been confined to her house after a resident in her building tested positive for the pandemic. It is none other than Sonalika Joshi, who became a household name with her character Madhavi Bhide. The actress confirmed the news to SpotboyE and revealed that her building, in Kandivali East, had been sealed on March 27, 2020 and that since then, residents have been getting their groceries and other essential items delivered online and collecting them from their main gate, as no one is allowed to enter or exit the society's premises.

Reports of how actors like Shivin Narang, Sakshi Tanwar, Sushant Singh and Ankita Lokhande's buildings too, have been sealed off, have made it to the news headlines. Despite stringent measures in place in the city, Maharashtra has seen the highest number of COVID-19 cases (1982), out of which Mumbai alone recorded 16 deaths in one single day.
