New episodes of Kasautii Zindagii Kay began airing from Monday. Currently, the shoot has been halted, as actor Parth Samthaan, who plays Anurag Basu on the show, tested positive for Covid-19. Even though Karan Patel did not shoot with Parth, he took the test as a precautionary measure.

“Karan Patel’s swab test has come out negative and all is good. He requests all to stay safe and get their tests done even if mild symptoms. Better to be safe than sorry,” his publicist said in a statement. Other actors on the show, including Erica Fernandes, Aamna Sharif, Shubhaavi Choksey and Pooja Banerjee have also tested negative for Covid-19.

Incidentally, Karan Patel had a minor role in the original Kasautii Zindagii Kay. He also acted in shows such as Kkavyanjali, Kasturi and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. In addition to this, he has participated in a number of reality shows, including Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket, Survivor India, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Nach Baliye, Box Cricket League and Khatron Ke Khiladi.
