Recent reports suggested that Tamannaah Bhatia had tested positive for COVID-19, but there was no official confirmation by the actress. She has now, however, taken to her Instagram account to confirm that she had tested positive for COVID-19.

She shared a note and wrote- "Although my team and I have been very disciplined on set, I unfortunately succumbed to a mild fever last week. After taking the mandatory tests, I was diagnosed as COVID-19 positive. I admitted myself into a private hospital in Hyderabad to mitigate adverse health outcomes and after being under the care of expert health professionals I am now being discharged. It has been a strenuous week but I feel relatively well. I am optimistic I will recover fully from this health peril which is distressing so many people around the world." (sic)
