Coronavirus cases are growing each and every day. Maharashtra Government has imposed a ‘mini lockdown’ in the state for 15 days. Several celebrities have already tested positive for Covid-19. And now, the latest to join the list is ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ actors Kush Shah aka Goli. It seems that 110 people underwent the RT-PCR test on the sets of ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ and four of them tested positive.
Show producer Asit Kumarr Modi opened up about the four members testing positive and the test was conducted on the sets. He also revealed on how the 15 day lockdown in Maharashtra will affect the show.
In an interview, Asit Kumar said, “We had not thought of any possibility of going out for the shoot because the guidelines that came out 3-4 days ago didn’t mention a ban on shooting. According to those guidelines we had to take everyone’s RT-PCR tests on the set. So, we got everyone tested and four people tested Covid-positive.”
“We had already home-quarantined them because while taking the test they were showing some symptoms. We got everyone tested on Friday, April 9. We have been taking precautions during the shoot.” said the producer.
Asit Kumarr Modi further revealed about the cast who are not positive, “If anyone was a little sick, we would ask them not to come to the shoot. Kush Shah, who plays Goli on the show and some production people, are positive. There is no one positive in the main cast. All those who are positive are also home quarantine and everyone else is safe.”
The producer also shared if they would go outside Maharashtra to shoot. He said that they haven’t thought about it and will have to ask the team.
