Tanusri Dasgupta, who is the creative head of Balaji Telefilms tests positive for COVID-19. She was hospitalised on Saturday and is expected to get back home soon.
In a recent interview with India Forums, the creative head revealed that her mother is also COVID-19 positive and is currently under home quarantine, “I was brought to the hospital on Saturday night when I hit a low on oxygen. The doctor did a blood test and advised me to get admitted so that I can be monitored. Before that, I was at home with my mother who had also tested positive. But she did not need to be hospitalised. She was home quarantined and is on her way to recovery,” she said.
Tanusri said that it was ‘scary’ at the beginning but she was sure that she will be back on her feet soon. “I caught a deeper strain I think and had to be admitted. The staff here has been extremely helpful in nursing me back to health. I still have a cough due to bronchitis and am being treated for the same. Yes, it was scary for a few days, but if you are in good hands there is no fear. We all are recovering and I will be back home soon,” she added.
