Most beautiful woman’ gets COVID-19


Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, otherwise known as “the most beautiful woman in the world”, has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Bollywood star, 46, who shot to international prominence when she won the 1994 Miss World pageant, contracted coronavirus after her husband and father-in-law were both hospitalised with the virus.

Aishwarya’s husband, Indian actor Abhishek Bachchan, 44, announced on Twitter that both his wife and their eight-year-old daughter Aaradhya have coronavirus.
“They will be self quarantining at home,” he wrote. “The BMC has been updated of their situation and are doing the needful.

Abhishek and his father Amitabh Bachchan, 77, who is also a famous Bollywood actor, confirmed that they had been taken to hospital over the weekend for treatment for “mild symptoms”.

“My father and I remain in hospital till the doctors decide otherwise. Everyone please remain cautious and safe,” he added in a further tweet. “Please follow all rules!”

India
 is now ranked third in the world 
for the most confirmed coronavirus cases, with more than 879,000 people contracting the virus and 23,000 dying.  
On
 Sunday, India recorded its biggest single daily increase in cases with 28,637 confirmed cases.

The Indian government has defended the rise in cases since lockdown ended, with the country’s Minister for External Affairs, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, arguing it was very low in proportion to the population.

“In our case, recognising our capabilities and our limitations, we opted to rely very substantially on social distancing,” he said.

“So we went for a very early lockdown, we went for a very early travel restriction and the result of that, three months down the road … yes, the actual caseload today is large, it is not large in proportion to the population.
