Mumbai, July 12, 2024.
Actor Akshay Kumar won’t be attending Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding in Mumbai on Friday, as he has tested positive for the coronavirus. Akshay previously tested positive in the early days of the pandemic, and then again in 2022. The actor will skip not only the Ambani wedding, but also the final leg of promotions for his latest release, Sarfira, a source confirmed to indianexpress.com.
Akshay attended the Ambanis’ pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar earlier this year, where he delivered a power-packed dance performance. Akshay felt unwell after some crew members of his promotions team contracted the virus. He tested positive on Friday morning. Anant Ambani had personally invited him to his wedding, which Akshay won’t be able to attend as he has ‘isolated himself’. In an interview with HT after the Jamnagar event, Akshay had said, “It happened around 3 in the morning. It was grand of course, but besides that the Ambani family was so loving and caring, they left no stone unturned to make everyone feel included. Anant and Radhika were very gracious hosts, may Mahakaal bless the happy couple.”
