Singer Kanika Kapoor, who has tested positive for novel coronavirus for the fourth time and has been in hospital for more than a fortnight now, is now missing her family.
Recently, Kanika took to her official Instagram handle to share an emotional post with her fans. As fans showed concern for the singer, she made it clear that she was “not in the ICU” and was waiting to meet her kids and family.
The post came with a quote which read, “Life teaches us to make good use of time, while time teaches us the value of life.”
Sharing the post, the singer wrote, “Going off to bed. Sending you all loving vibes. Stay safe you guys. Thank you for your concern but I am not in the ICU. I am fine. I hope my next test is negative. Waiting to go home to my kids and family… miss them! (Sic)”
She had announced her Covid-19 diagnosis on Instagram but had later deleted the post.
Meanwhile, one of her family members who did not wish to be named, told IANS, “We are now worried over the test reports. It seems that Kanika is not responding to treatment and in this lockdown, we cannot even airlift her for advanced treatment. We can only pray for her recovery.” Doctors at the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), however, said that the singer’s condition was stable.
Kanika, who was hospitalized on March 20, returned from London on March 9 and then travelled to Kanpur and Lucknow.
After she tested positive, she was slammed by the media for attending parties and allegedly spreading the virus though none of those who came into contact with her tested positive. Earlier, Lucknow police booked Kanika on charges of negligence for attending various social events in the city despite being infected with coronavirus and having been instructed by the authorities to isolate herself at her home.
Kanika, who is presently admitted to the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), was also criticized by the hospital administration for her ‘starry behaviour’.
