Television actress Deepika Singh, best known for starring in the popular TV show Diya Aur Baati Hum, revealed in social media posts on Saturday that her mother, who tested COVID-19 positive, is now admitted to a Delhi hospital. She thanked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in her statement, a day after she asked for help on social media. In a video message on Friday, Deepika had said that: "My mom has been diagnosed with COVID-19 positive," in which she revealed that her parents are in Delhi while she's in Mumbai. Just like she wrote in the caption, Deepika said in her video message that the Delhi hospital where her mother got tested "didn't give reports. They only allowed my father to click its picture." Deepika wrote: "I really hope the concerned personnel are reading this and my mom there receives some relief." She also tagged Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to her post.
Here's what Deepika posted on Saturday afternoon after her mother's admission to a hospital.
In her video message, Deepika Singh added that asking the Delhi government for help was her "last resort" after she tried to get in touch with several hospitals to get her mother admitted. Deepika had said that her mother is 59 and was at home and that her parents live in a joint family, which put others at risk. Her father is also a COVID-19 suspect, she added.
