Aamir Khan is the latest celebrity to get tested positive for coronavirus. The actor who recently left social media issued a statement via his spokesperson about being diagnosed with COVID-19. Aamir's spokesperson stated, "Mr Aamir Khan has tested positive for Covid 19. He is at home in self-quarantine, following all the protocols and he’s doing fine. All those who came in contact with him in the recent past should get themselves tested as a precautionary measure. Thank you for all your wishes and concern."

Meanwhile, a source told Pinkvilla, "Aamir has tested positive for the virus, and has home quarantined himself. He has also informed his staff to take the test, to take all the necessary precautions and follow all the guidelines to the T. He will resume shooting for Laal Singh Chaddha after he completely recovers."

A day after his birthday, Aamir announced via his social media pages that he is quitting the platform once for all. The superstar penned, "Hey guys, thank you so much for all the love and warmth on my birthday. My heart is full. In other news, this is going to be my last post on social media. Considering that I am SO active anyway, I have decided to drop the pretence. We will continue to communicate as we did before. Lots of love, always."

On the work front, Aamir's upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan as the female lead. The film is slated to release during the Christmas weekend this year.
