Akshay Kumar has tested positive for COVID-19 for the third time, forcing him to miss the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai on Friday. The actor felt unwell during promotions for his latest film Sarfira and decided to get tested after some crew members contracted the virus.
This marks the third occasion Akshay has tested positive for COVID-19, with previous infections in the early days of the pandemic in 2021 and again in 2022. In an interview last year, Akshay revealed he suffered from “heavy COVID” and was still struggling to regain lost strength and stamina.

Health experts advise maintaining hygiene practices, boosting immunity, and adapting to seasonal challenges to stay safe during the monsoon season. Akshay has isolated himself and sought necessary medical care after testing positive.
