Ekta Kapoor's close aide Tanusri Das Gupta, executive vice president of Balaji Telefilms, tested positive for COVID-19. She has been admitted to Seven Hills Hospital and is said to be on the road to recovery. Earlier, Das Gupta was in-home quarantine after her mother was diagnosed with the disease.

In an interview with India Forums, Tanusri was quoted, saying, "I caught a deeper strain I think and had to be admitted. The staff here has been extremely helpful in nursing me back to health. I still have a cough due to bronchitis and am being treated for the same. Yes, it was scary for a few days, but if you are in good hands there is no fear. We all are recovering and I will be back home soon,” she said.
