On July 12, Parth Samthaan who essays character of Anurag Basu in Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 tested positive for Coronavirus. Soon after, the shoot was brought to a halt and the entire cast and crew underwent tests. Fortunately, no one was infected by the virus and later Parth, in his second test on July 23, tested negative. The actor who was observing self-isolation at his Goregaon residence in Mumbai has now travelled to his home town, Pune, to be with his family. However, the actor's decision didn't go down well with some Twitter users, claiming to be his neighbours. They alleged that 'Parth violated BMC rules'.
Many twitter users who claim to stay in his society took to their twitter account to bash the actor. A user named Rajiv Ranjan tweeted, "Parth Samthaan - cine celebrity violated Covid 19 rules. Breaks rules of quarantine in DB woods Goregaon society and puts the residents at risk. His flat has been quarantined by BMC but he comes out and breaks all rules. Need action BMC".
Another user Shilpa writes, "TV actor @LaghateParth Samthaan has been flouting BMC quarantine rules, stepping out of BMC seal of his flat, using public facilities in DB woods, Goregaon putting residents at risk. His house help who stays with him, is still positive. Need action by BMC @mybmc @mumbaipolice"
Yet another user named Ambar Kasliwal raised concerns and tweeted, "TV Celebrity Parth Samthaan violated Covid 19 rules. Broke Quarantine rules in DB Woods Goregaon and puts the residents at risk. His flat has been sealed by BMC but he went out and broke all rules. Need action BMC @MumbaiPolice
