Read full story : Deepika Padukone tests positive for Covid-19; father Prakash Padukone, mother Ujjala, and sister Anisha have also contracted the virus
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who is currently in Bangalore with her family, has tested positive for COVID-19. Her father and legendary Indian badminton player Prakash Padukone has tested positive for COVID-19 and is recovering from the infection at a hospital in Bengaluru. The 65-year-old, who is the first Indian to win the prestigious All England Championships title in 1980, is likely to be discharged later this week. A close friend of the legendary shuttler and director at the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy, Vimal Kumar told in a recent interview, 'Around 10 days back, Prakash, his wife (Ujjala) and second daughter (Anisha), they developed symptoms and got themselves tested and the results came out to be positive.' He added, 'They got themselves isolated but after a week Prakash's fever didn't come down, so last Saturday, he was admitted to a hospital here in Bengaluru. He is okay now. All his parameters are fine, his wife and daughter are at home and he too will be hopefully discharged in 2-3 days.' One of the most revered figures in world badminton, Padukone had emerged as a role model of Indian sports during his playing days in the 1970s and 1980s. Padukone was also the first Indian to win a medal at the World Championships after clinching a bronze in the 1983 edition. He was also the first Indian to be ranked world number one after achieving the feat in 1980 following back-to-back title wins at the Denmark Open, All England Championships and Swedish Open.Following his retirement in 1991, Padukone served as the chairman of the Badminton Association of India (BAI). He was also the coach of the Indian team from 1993 to 1996. Meanwhile, with 3,68,147 new coronavirus infections reported in the last 24 hours, the daily Covid-19 cases showed a slight dip but continued to stay above 3 lakh taking the total tally of cases to 1,99,25,604, according to the Union health ministry data updated on May 3.
