"Yes, he tested positive for Covid-19 and is admitted to SL Raheja hospital in Mahim, he is very critical as he has other comorbidities also. Please pray for him,” he told Indianexpress.com. His partner Nadeem Saifi took to Instagram and requested fans to pray for him.

"With folded hands I am requesting all our friends and fans around the world to pray for the speedy recovery of my partner Shravan who at the moment is in a critical condition in a Mumbai hospital," he said.

In partnership with Nadeem, Shravan delivered several musical hits in the 90s. This includes music for movies like Aashiqui, Saajan, Sirf Tum, Sadak and Dilwale.

The rise in Covid-19 cases has led to several states enforcing lockdown-like curbs and curfews. While Mumbai has been following weekend lockdowns, Delhi chief minister Arvin Kejriwal on Monday announced a six-day lockdown starting this Monday.
