The second wave of coranavirus has presented a tough situation in the country, with daily cases and deaths setting unwanted records for the past few days. The current wave has also infected more stars of the film industry than it did during the first wave. However, the sole bright spot has been that most celebrities have recovered from the virus, and the latest to do so was fashion designer Manish Malhotra.
