Aishwarya and Aaradhya's first test report, which came last night, came out to be negative. However, the final report found the mother-daughter duo also to be infected with coronavirus.
Meanwhile, rest of the family members namely Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan Nanda and her children Agastya and Navya Naveli have tested negative for the novel virus.
Sources in Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) claim that Aishwarya and Aaradhya have been suggested to remain home quarantined as they are asymptomatic, but it is now up to the family to take a call after consulting their doctor.
