Hence, not wanting to take any chances she got herself tested.
“I developed a cough on September 16. Tony and Deeya (Singh, producers) said the sequence of marriage with Varun was very important and even otherwise, I felt I should not take any chances. I headed to get myself tested,” she said.
She said that she is isolating herself at her home as they have got plenty of rooms. Her daughter Palak is also very particular about social distancing. She further added that her son Reyansh is currently with his father Abhinav Kohli.

While Shweta has contracted the virus, her co-star Varun Badola is awaiting the results of his next test. His wife, actress Rajashree Sachdev had tested positive for Covid-19. The upcoming wedding sequences of the show might be postponed due to present conditions, or another track will be written focusing mainly of Varun’s character.
