Kaveri Kapur, actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and filmmaker Shekhar Kapur's daughter is self-isolating after returning from Boston, over coronavirus concerns.
On Thursday, Kaveri, who is studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston landed in India. In an interview with PTI, Suchitra said that Kaveri was stuck in the United States after the college got shut and students had to vacate dormitories. Suchitra said, "As a mother I was going mad, didn’t sleep for the whole week she was stranded. I was obviously in a lot of panic though she was staying with a close family friend and was being looked after very well. We had to write to the ministry, try to get everything done and the ministry was so proactive, they were sending directives... They did this for everyone with queries who were concerned."
Suchitra further added that Kaveri was flown down in an emergency visa. "It was all so smooth, she said people at the airport were efficient and thorough but compassionate. When you see videos on social media anWhatsApppp being circulated, you start panicking. This panic and unrest are uncalled for because our government and health personnel are handling it brilliantly with a war footing." As a precautionary measure, the 44-year-old actor said her daughter put herself under self-quarantine despite being tested and cleared at the airport.
"She got tested at the airport and was completely clear but as a responsible thing, what she’s doing is very sensible," she said. Apart from Kaveri, actor Irrfan Khan’s wife, Sutapa Sikdar, took to Facebook to announce that their son Nabil has arrived safely back to the country after being stuck in London.
