Kanika Kapoor is the first celebrity in India to be tested COVID-19 positive. “I’ve been here since 11 am and all I’ve been given is a small bottle of water to drink. I’ve been asking these people to give me something to eat but I’ve only been given two small bananas and an orange that had flies on it. I am so hungry, I haven’t even taken the medicine that I was supposed to till now. I have fever, I’ve informed them, but no one has attended to me. The food I
brought with me has been taken away. I can’t even eat anything that’s given to me as I am allergic to some foods. I am hungry, thirsty and I feel miserable here,” she said.
The singer said she is being ill-treated as if she has committed a crime. She added that the room was dusty and full of mosquitoes. "I am being ill-treated here and it feels like I’m in jail. They are behaving as if I am a criminal for no fault of mine,” Kanika said.
