Veteran actor Kiran Kumar was also tested positive for COVID-19. "I’m asymptomatic positive. I had got myself tested on May 14 and it turned out I had coronavirus.

The aunt Varun was talking about, is no more.
Renowned producer Karim Morani had tested positive for COVID-19 too, making the Morani family first to test positive in COVID-19, in Bollywood.
'Baby Doll' singer Kanika Kapoor was the first Bollywood celebrity to test positive. She had arrived to UP from London. Her father had accused the singer of not getting tested and thus, the whole family had to go under quarantine. Kanika was under scanner for a long time because of that, too.
