Television actor Parth Samthaan tested positive for COVID-19 just recently. Some allegations leveled against him wherein he was accused of breaking the quarantine rules. He has now responded to allegations that he flouted quarantine rules and stepped out of his apartment. He said that he was having a panic attack and has now left Mumbai for his hometown, Pune, to spend time with his family.
On Monday night, a Twitter user tagged the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and wrote, “TV actor @LaghateParth Samthaan has been flouting BMC quarantine rules, stepping out of BMC seal of his flat, using public facilities in DB woods, Goregaon putting residents at risk. His house help who stays with him, is still positive. Need action by BMC @mybmc @mumbaipolice.”
Parth replied on Tuesday morning, “Dear @Suhaasi ,yes I have tested negative and I was home quarantined for 17 days which technically is more than 14 .. and last night I had a panic attack so were you willing to take me to the doc?? And now m on my to Pune to spend some much needed time with my family ..”
This explanation however, didn’t go down well with the netizens. One user wrote, “That is why there are BMC rules, and Management Committee. Society has a quarantine center with 24 hr helpline from doctors where he could have contacted. If everybody started giving these kind of excuses like Parth there would be no control.”
Parth tested positive for Covid-19 on July 12 and he took to his social media profile to reveal the news to his fans. He wrote that he would remain under home quarantine as he was showing ‘mild symptoms’. His reports came back negative last week and he shared an update on Instagram. “As you all know by now… My reports are negative & I feel much better. Thank you all for keeping me in your prayers… Thanks a ton, God bless you,” he wrote.
