We have contacted the Grand Hyatt Hotel where a party was held and Kareena attended it. We are tracing others who were present there.”

Pednekar added that Khan and Arora’s physician was contacted and both actors are under home isolation. The mayor further elucidated, “I can understand if some teenagers were present at such a party. It is their age and they like to enjoy, but people should take utmost precautions. Those who are in the limelight, why don’t they fear COVID-19?”
