Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai and her daughter have been hospitalised after testing positive for coronavirus.
The actress, 46, had been isolating at home with her little girl Aaradhya, eight, but is said to have gone to a Mumbai hospital after they both ‘developed breathlessness’, reports the Times Of India.
Just last Saturday, Aishwarya’s husband Abhishek Bachchan, 44, and her father-in-law Amitabh, 77, revealed they had Covid-19 and were in hospital.

Abhishek revealed his wife and daughter had tested positive in a tweet on Sunday, however he said they would be self-isolating at home.
Since then it is thought Aishwarya and Aaradhya stayed at the family’s home which was sealed by the Brihanmumbai Corporation, who Abhishek called the BMC in his tweet.
As well as their home, three other properties owned by the Bachchan family are also thought to have been locked down, reports news agency ANI.
Actor Amitabh, who is widely considered the King of Indian cinema, revealed he had tested positive for COVID-19 and was awaiting test results on Twitter last week.

Amitabh’s work has earned him a number of accolades over the years, including four National Film Awards and a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to Bollywood cinema.
The Shahenshah star was honoured with a Padma Shri in 1984, a Padma Bhushan in 2001, and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015, some of the highest civilian awards to be provided by the Government of India.

In 1982 Amitabh suffered a near-fatal injury while filming Coolie. The actor had been doing his own stunts and got a splenic rupture following a jump that went wrong.
He had to have an emergency splenectomy after the injury, and remained in a critical condition for several months before finally making a recovery.
Amitabh went into semi-retirement in 1992, becoming a producer during the five year break before his return to the silver screen in the late 1990s.
The actor rose to prominence once again in the 2000s with several commercially successful films, and he has also appeared on TV and done voice-acting work.
