Despite the extreme amount of carefulness displayed by my brother and his family over the last few months, they still tested positive. So I urge everyone to take this seriously and understand that no amount of safety measures are enough. Friends, don't let your guards down. Let's be vigilant, let's be aware and let's fight the bad times together," the actor added.

Anupam is also urging his fans to follow the government protocol and stay safe. Social distancing, stay-at-home and extreme hygiene is the first step to keep the pandemic away.
