Tollywood Singer Malavika Pantulu shuns rumours on being corona positive

The corona epidemic is grabbing everyone from common people to well-known celebrities. Days after SP Balasubrahmanyam tested positive for the novel coronavirus, it was in the air that singer Sunita Upadrasta and Malavika Pantulu, too, tested positive. Soon enough, a rumor went out that Malavika had done a music program for a TV channel in late July despite knowing her status. The show also saw the presence of other singers such as Hemachandra. Getting hurt by the rumor that has been amplified by social media, Malavika has put out a clarificatory post. Detailing the sequence of events that took place, the well-known Tollywood playback singer expressed her agony over fake news.

"Samajavaragamana SP Balu garu's episode was shot on July 30th with many singers like Hemachandra, Anudeep, Pranavi and Lipsika and on 31st with Karunya, Damini, Satya Yamini, Vasa Pavani and Malavika. I happen to be one of the 4 female singers on the second day of the shoot. Had I been positive I could have easily passed it on to the 3 other female singers or the anchor with whom I shared the makeup room (sic)," she wrote in a Facebook post.  She then said that her father and mother, as well as her 2-year-old daughter, have tested positive.

The 30-year-old singer suggested that there is no way she could have contracted the virus before the show.  Her husband, she added, has been working from home ever since the lockdown was announced. Her elderly parents have been strictly staying indoors since March, she said.  Malavika said, "This TV show was the first time I stepped out of my house with a shield in my car between me and my driver. That is the level of caution I have carried through this lockdown (sic),"  The singer has approached the cybercrime police, who will seek action against those who have orchestrated fake news about her.
