Exclusive - Sooraj Thapar goes home COVID-free after a stay in two hospitals

Sooraj Thapar

, who was shooting for

Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani

in Goa, had tested positive for

COVID-19

and was soon running a high fever after returning to Mumbai. Getting a bed wasn’t easy and it was only after his wife

Dipti

and a few other members from his family did some running around that they eventually admitted him to a hospital in

Goregaon

. Post that, he was shifted to

Lilavati Hospital

(Bandra).

The latest on Sooraj's front is that he has recovered and gone home. His close friend, actor

Navin Saini

, confirmed and said, "Yes, Sooraj has been discharged. He went home yesterday. He had breathing issues when he'd tested positive. He is much better now. His fever has gone. He is talking and eating well."

Was Sooraj on oxygen support, we asked? Saini replied, "Yes, but his oxygen rate is under control now."

Added Saini, "Sooraj is still feeling weak though, but he's resting it out and should be absolutely fine in the next seven days or so."
