Hollywood star Steve Martin has tweeted about actor Aishwarya Rai’s Covid-19 diagnosis and wished her a quick recovery. They worked together on Pink Panther 2 in 2009.
Steve tweeted about Aishwarya and as well as her daughter Aaradhya, who was also diagnosed with the disease. “I’m wishing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her daughter a speedy recovery. She was such an elegant and delightful acting partner in Pink Panther,” he wrote in his tweet.
Aishwarya played criminology expert Sonia Solandres in Pink Panther 2 while Steve played Inspector Clouseau. The film was directed by Harald Zwart and did not perform well at the box office. It also starred John Cleese, Emily Mortimer, Jean Reno and Alfred Molina.
