Veteran actor Prem Chopra and his wife Uma Chopra were on Monday admitted to a hospital in Mumbai after testing positive for Covid-19, a senior doctor treating the couple said.
According to Dr Jalil Parkar, the 86-year-old veteran, along with his wife, was admitted to the Lilavati Hospital. Both are likely to be discharged in “a day or two”, he added.
“They both have received the monoclonal antibody cocktail and are recuperating well. Hopefully (he) will be discharged in a day or two. At the age of 86 years (he) is responding quite well,” Parkar said in a statement.
Prem Chopra, known for playing iconic villain roles in Hindi films like “Bobby”, “Do Raaste”, and “Kati Patang”, is the latest Bollywood personality to have contracted the virus.
Earlier this week, John Abraham and Ekta Kapoor also took to their respective social media handles to announce that they tested postive for Covid-19.
