Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has filed an FIR against Hindi film actress Gauahar Khan for continuing to shoot despite testing positive for Covid-19.
Confirming the same, film producer Ashoke Pandit tweeted from his verified account Monday: “I condemn the illegal act committed by actress @Gauahar_Khan by attending the shoot even though she was COVID positive thus putting other crew members lives to danger. I thank @mybmc & @MumbaiPolice for their swift action.”

The film producer also tweeted a copy of the FIR filed by the BMC against Gauahar Khan which has her name written on it.
Meanwhile, the BMC and Mumbai Police Monday posted cryptic tweets from their official accounts saying that an “FIR has been filed against a Bollywood actor” for flouting quarantine rules without mentioning names.
BMC tweeted: “No Compromise On City’s Safety! BMC has filed an FIR against a Bollywood actor for non-compliance to Covid-19 guidelines on testing positive. The rules apply to all alike and we urge citizens to follow all guidelines and help the city beat the virus. #NaToCorona.”
