Chandigarh, December 15

After Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Seema Khan and Maheep Kapoor tested positive for Covid-19, Karan Johar house was allegedly called a 'Covid hotspot'.

Karan Johar, amid the backlash over holding a “party” in his house, on Wednesday took to his Instagram stories to share a long note on him and his family testing negative for Covid-19. He went on to say and how he did not organise a party and it was just a get-together for eight people.

He wrote, "My FAMILY AND I and everyone at home have done their RTPCR tests and with the grace of god we are all NEGATIVE! Infact I tested twice just to be safe and am NEGATIVE...I truly appreciate the grandest efforts of the BMC to ensure the safety of our city...Salute to them to. To some members of the media I would like clarify that a 8 people intimate gathering is not a "party"...And my home which we maintain strict protocols in is certainly no "hotspot" of covid. All of us are responsible and masked at all times and NO one would treat this pandemic lightly...my request to certain members of the media is to exercise some restrains in their extreme reportage without the assessment of facts! Lots of love and safety to all. Karan Johar."
