The BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has sealed several floors of a posh building in south Mumbai where Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty lives with his family due to rising Covid-19 cases reported from there, civic officials said on Monday.
The 30-storied building with 120 flats is Prithvi Apartments, on Altamount Road, where many new Covid-19 cases have been detected in the past few days, where some of the affected floors have been sealed.
As per BMC’s Covid-19 protocols, if there are more than five active cases in any particular building, it is eligible for sealing to prevent further spread of the contagion.
Reacting to the reports, Suniel Shetty said, “What has the media made it out to be? We are not even home. My children Athiya and Ahan are in London. My wife and I not at home either. The reports have gone berserk. Only one home in one of the wings in our residential colony has reported a Covid case. Such a big issue being made of it, I don’t understand.”
Nevertheless, he took to social media and commented: “Locked in or locked out Bolo Bolo tell tell.”
Along with Prithvi Apartments, the civic body has affixed the seal on at least 9 other posh buildings in south Mumbai’s affluent Malabar Hill and surroundings for the growing number of Covid-19 cases.
According to the BMC, in the second wave, a majority of the cases have been reported from residential buildings or skyscrapers as compared with the crowded slum areas.
