Shekhar Kapur’s Daughter under 14 Days Quarantine after Returning from Boston

Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur and actress-singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi’s daughter Kaveri returned back to India from Boston where she was stuck after the college got shut and students had to vacate dormitories.

Kaveri, who is studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, landed in India on Thursday. She has put herself under self-quarantine for 14 days over coronavirus concerns.

"She got tested at the airport and was completely clear but as a responsible thing, what she's doing is very sensible," Suchitra informed.

"As a mother I was going mad, didn't sleep for the whole week she was stranded. I was obviously in a lot of panics though she was staying with a close family friend and was being looked after very well. We had to write to the ministry, try to get everything done and the ministry was so proactive, they were sending directives... They did this for everyone with queries who were concerned," Suchitra told PTI.

The actress said Kaveri was finally flown down on an emergency visa.

"It was all so smooth, she said people at the airport were efficient and thorough but compassionate. When you see videos on social media and WhatsApp being circulated, you start panicking. This panic and unrest are uncalled for because our government and health personnel are handling it brilliantly with a war footing."

A few days back, Irrfan Khan’s son Babil too returned back home safely from London. Khan's wife, Sutapa Sikdar, had taken to Facebook to announce the good news and also thanked fans for their help. Babil is now isolating for fourteen days as a precautionary measure.

According to the Health Ministry data, the coronavirus cases in India rose to 195 on Friday after 22 fresh cases were reported from various parts of the country.
