Last month, Ram Charan's father and veteran actor Chiranjeevi tweeted that he tested positive. However, he later explained that he was COVID-negative and that his initial test result turned out to be positive due to a "faulty PCR-kit." He tweeted: "A group of doctors did three different tests and concluded that I am COVID negative and that the earlier result was due to a faulty RT PCR kit. My heartfelt thanks for the concern, love shown by all of you during this time. Humbled."
