At a time when quelling panic is as important as practising precaution, high drama ensued at Imperial Heights in Goregaon when actor Sahil Khan shared on social media that two of his neighbours have tested positive for COVID-19, without having verified the information.

Khan, best remembered for his outing in Style (2001), is a resident of the posh Goregaon residential complex that is home to several television celebrities. On Saturday evening, in a bizarre move, he posted a video on Instagram in which he stated that two residents of the building — a 72-year-old and an 18-year-old — had been inflicted with the virus.
