Furthermore, in another Instagram story, Dhanashree revealed that her mother and brother had also been infected with the virus when she was a part of the IPL bubble recently.
“It’s been really tough and emotionally challenging for me. As first my mother and brother tested positive. I was in IPL bubble and felt extremely helpless but did monitor them time to time. It’s really difficult to stay away from your family. Fortunately, they’ve recovered,” Dhanashree wrote.
She also added that she lost her uncle and aunt to the COVID-19 virus saying, “But I lost my aunt and very close uncle due to Covid and its complications.”
