Tanishaa Mukerji reveals she has tested positive for COVID-19, goes into isolation

Kajol’s sister Tanishaa Mukerji tests positive for COVID-19
Bollywood actress and Kajol’s sister Tanishaa Mukerji is the latest celeb to test positive for COVID-19 post reopening of theatres in the state of Maharashtra. Tanishaa took to her Instagram handle to tell her fans about her health. She wrote, ‘Hey everyone I've been detected COVID positive and will be isolating as required.’ Tanishaa is one of those celebrities who resumed work amid the pandemic. While shooting for a film in Lucknow earlier this year, she had said, ‘It’s a bad situation for the film industry. There is definitely a risk taken every time you go on set. But you can calculate that risk to a certain amount and you can protect yourself in your environment. You have to think of so much more. Before you walk into the set, you have to wear your mask, before the shot you have to take it off and then sanitise after each shot. Earlier we were so casual about our coffee, our water bottle, where we sit on set but now one has to be so careful.’ She further added, ‘At the same time, we can’t live in fear, I don’t believe in that. But I do believe in being very careful. But no, it hasn’t affected my craft. When I get in front of the camera, I am my character. Most actors are like that. We are creative people, so in front of the camera, you are disconnecting from reality and in that imaginary world that the cinema creates for you. I am not Tanishaa then, I am the character.’ On the work front, the actress made her Bollywood debut in 2003 with ‘Sssshhh…’ and went ahead to be a part of several films, such as Uday Chopra starrer ‘Neal n Nikki’, ‘Sarkar’, ‘Sarkar Raaj’ and many more. Presently, she is set for her Bollywood comeback with ‘Code Name Abdul’ where she will be essaying the role of a RAW agent. Apart from Tanishaa, the film also stars Akku Kulhari. Helmed by Eshwar Gunturu, the film is set to release on December 10, 2021.
