Pinkvilla reports that Saumya has not been on the sets of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain for a week and did not come into contact with the hairdresser. The hairdresser, along with other crew members and staff, had tested negative before the shoot of the show resumed. However, she tested positive on July 7.

Binaefer Kohli, producer of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, said, “It is extremely unfortunate that a personal staff member of our artist has contracted the virus. The staff member was tested and a day before the shoot, the report came out negative. The artist and her staff member have not been shooting with us for over 6 days now.”

“As we were to start shooting with the artist, a test was done once again, and the reports of the staff member came positive. Neither the artist nor her personal staff has been on the sets for a week now. All our artists, crew members, and staff are fine, and we have recommended them to immediately self-isolate in case they exhibit any of the symptoms associated with the virus,” she added.
