Bollywood playback singer Kanika Kapoor popularly known for her dance hits like Babydoll and Chitiyan Kalaiyan has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 after she allegedly hid her travel history from the airport authorities.
According to reports, after concealing her travel history, the 41-year-old-singer irresponsibly threw a lavish party at a 5-star-hotel for her friends and family, after she returned on March 15 from London.
Officially announcing her diagnosis on one of her social media platforms, she claims that she started seeing the symptoms 4-days after her arrival. She further commented:
For the past 4 days I have had signs of flu, I got myself tested and it came positive for Covid-19. My family and I are in complete quarantine now and following medical advice on how to move forward. Contact mapping of people I have been in touch with is underway as well.
Even though she claims that she was tested by the airport authorities, various sources have revealed that she dodged the screening.
My colleague @ShivendraAajTak has learnt that #KanikaKapoor escaped screening at Lucknow airport, by colluding with authorities on ground and hiding in the washroom.

Time to find & penalise these others culpable too. https://t.co/eelFClXFvG
Netizens are furious with her behaviour and are demanding strict punishment for her actions:
Let me say this aloud – #KanikaKapoor needs to be arrested and given some punishment. Any person knowingly putting life of others in danger needs to be stringently dealt with as we battle #CoronavirusOutbreakindia

This woman should be charged with criminal negligence. Period.
Educated fools like #kanikakapoor are more dangerous than #coronavirus itself. India had successfully kept the disease at bay for a long time but irresponsible n juvenile behaviour can upset the fight.

Kanika kapoor is irresponsible .World is battling a disease but inko party karni hai wo bhi 100 log ko bulake. Jail would be an easy escape for as she will get bail easily so i hope she is made to pay money for those who are infected because of her. #kanikakapoor https://t.co/J4tJn9yMcj

#kanikakapoor episode just shows that Stardom & Money and privilege doesn’t guarantee minimum common sense. Their irresponsible behaviour can upset the fight against #coronavirus which till date has been reasonably contained in India pic.twitter.com/CpD3yozpjh

Then there is #KanikaKapoor who put 100 lives in danger by throwing a party while she was infected with the virus.
Bollywood has many artists, but only a few are human.
