In an interview, Udit said that Aditya told him in a text message that he will recover, and asked only that his father prays for his health.

"Aditya got himself admitted; it may have been to quarantine himself. He is better now," Udit told a leading daily, adding that Shweta didn't need to be hospitalised, and is quarantining at home. "I just received a text from Aditya saying 'Papa, don't worry about me. I am okay. Just pray for me'," Udit added.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, Aditya shared a picture from his Kashmir honeymoon with Shweta, and wrote, "Hello all! Unfortunately, my wife @shwetaagarwaljha & I have tested positive for Covid-19 & are in quarantine. Please stay safe, continue to follow protocol & do keep us in your prayers. This too shall pass."

Aditya and Shweta tied the knot in December, and embarked on a series of mini honeymoons. The couple were looking forward to moving into a new apartment, which is located just three buildings away from his parents' home. “I have bought a new 5 BHK in Andheri itself, three buildings away from my folks and we are moving in 3-4 months from now. My parents will be just a hop away,” Aditya had told Bollywood Hungama in an interview.

Aditya, who serves as host of Indian Idol 12, was filled in by Jay Bhanushali for Saturday's episode.
