Akshay Kumar Tests Positive for COVID-19, Missing Anant Ambani’s Grand Wedding: Report

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has tested positive for COVID-19, leading to his absence at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s grand wedding today, as reported by IndiaToday.in. Kumar, who was actively promoting his latest movie ‘Sarfira‘, decided to get tested after feeling unwell amidst the promotions.

A significant surge in COVID-19 cases during the monsoon season has been a concern, with the emergence of FLiRT COVID variants such as JN.1 and KP.2. These variants, characterized by specific spike protein mutations, have been a focus of research by experts at Johns Hopkins University.

Despite testing positive for the virus, Akshay Kumar has acted responsibly by isolating himself and following recommended precautions advised by medical professionals. The actor’s commitment to public health and safety is evident through his prompt actions upon receiving the positive test results.

The ongoing promotional activities for his movie ‘Sarfira’ had to be cut short due to Kumar’s health condition, causing him to miss out on Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s highly anticipated wedding ceremony. Anant Ambani is the son of billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani, while Radhika Merchant is the daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant.

The grand wedding event is set to take place at the prestigious Jio World Centre in Mumbai, with a star-studded guest list that includes distinguished personalities like HSBC Holdings plc Chairman Mark Tucker, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd Executive Chairman Jay Lee, and prominent celebrities such as Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and Ram Charan.

Notable political figures like West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee are also expected to attend the lavish wedding celebration, making it a truly glamorous affair that captures the attention of the public and media alike.
