"The hospital is taking very good care of me and I thank Tina Ambani,” he said, referring to the former actress, who is married to Anil Ambani. “Everything is under control. They are going all out for me. The doctors are around all the time."

Let me also tell you that my entire staff of five members has tested positive, and I have got them hospitalised with me." His wife Babita and daughters Karisma and Kareena Kapoor have tested negative.
