Antony had isolated herself at home after one of the crew members on a set had tested positive for the virus. But, a few days later, when her symptoms worsened, she was admitted to a hospital. However, recent reports indicate that the actress is out of danger.

Beena’s husband and actor Manoj Nair took to social media to share the news. The actor broke into tears in the video as he talks of the difficulties they faced after Beena tested COVID-19 positive.

“It is one of the toughest situations in my life. Beena had symptoms for a couple of days. She was under self-quarantine after one person from a shooting set was tested positive for COVID. But days before, her symptoms worsened and we took her to the hospital. She tested negative for antigen test but was positive in the RTPCR test. Soon after the result, doctors started treatment and it was noticed that she started having pneumonia. I hid this news from both Beena and our son. But, later, when Beena insisted, I informed her the same. I lost my courage when the doctors asked me to look for hospitals that have better ICU facilities. Now, by god’s grace she is out of danger,” Nair said in the video.

The actor has called for everyone to stay safe in the video, in this high-risk situation.

“I am saying all these just as a piece of information. Please be careful. Don’t fool yourself by not wearing a mask, have a sanitizer in hand, skip all the gatherings. Don’t think you are fooling police officers or the government. You are fooling yourself. We are going through a situation where currency notes don’t even have the value of paper. Please stay safe,” he said further.
