A couple of days ago, the entire nation was taken by shock when members of the Bachchan family tested positive for COVID-19.

However, the actor is yet to get tested for COVID-19. On the other side, according to reports of a daily, Rekha refused to undergo the test and also refused to get her home sanitised when BMC officials reached out to her. If the grapevines are to be believed, the legendary actor's manager, Farzana had asked the BMC officials to call her before arriving. She reportedly told the officials to call her and they shall talk then, when BMC officials had arrived to fumigate Rekha's bungalow in Bandra.
