Kareena Kapoor Khan, Amrita Arora, Seema Khan and Maheep Kapoor recently tested positive for Covid-19 after attending a dinner at filmmaker Karan Johar's residence on December 8. The filmmaker has taken to Instagram to clarify that he and his family members have tested negative for the virus. Karan also stated that he did not throw any party, it was an intimate gathering of 8 people, and that all Covid-19 protocols have been followed at his house.

In a long note on Instagram Story, Karan wrote, "My family and I and everyone at home have done their RTPCR tests and with the grace of God we are all negative. In fact, I tested twice just to be safe and am negative. I truly appreciate the grandest efforts of the BMC to ensure the safety of our city. Salute to them. To some members of the media, I would like to clarify that an 8 people intimate gathering is not a ‘party.' And my home which we maintain strict protocols in is certainly no ‘hotspot' of covid. All of us are responsible and masked at all times and no one would treat this pandemic lightly. My request to certain members of the media is to exercise some restraint in their extreme reportage without the assessment of facts! Lots of love and safety to all. Karan Johar."

On Tuesday, the BMC was seen sanitising Kareena Kapoor Khan's apartment the building has been sealed.

Kareena too took to Instagram to share her health update on Monday.
