Veteran actor Kiran Kumar has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. He was diagnosed with the deadly virus on May 14 and has said that he is asymptomatic. Speaking to News18, Kiran said he had gone to the hospital for a minor medical procedure and was asked to get a few tests done before, including the coronavirus test. After testing positive, he is quarantined at home.

He said, "I’m asymptomatic positive. I had got myself tested on May 14 and it turned out I had coronavirus. But there’s no fever, no cough or any kind of breathlessness. I’m fine, and have quarantined myself at home. It has been 10 days and I haven’t developed any symptoms." 

Speaking about his situation, Kiran said that doing all the chores by himself reminded him of his 'boarding school days'. "I’m currently staying on the third floor of my residence. My family lives on the second floor. I’m alone and reliving my boarding school days, putting my bed, and washing my clothes (laughs)," Kiran said.

The veteran actor is all set to undergo a second test on either Monday (May 25) or Tuesday (May 26), reports said. For the uninformed, Kiran has been a part of several films as well as television shows such as Miilee, Chhajje Chhajje Ka Pyar, Grihasti, and Zindagi. His filmography includes Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Julie, and Dhadkan.

The first Bollywood celebrity to test positive for the coronavirus was singer Kanika Kapoor after she returned from London in March. Bollywood producer Karim Morani and his daughters Zoa and Shaza were also diagnosed with the coronavirus, however, they have made a complete recovery now.
