One of Indian Idol 12’s most popular contestants, Pawandeep Rajan, has tested positive for the coronavirus. The Uttarakhand resident has been put under quarantine, and would be performing virtually in the coming episodes. Earlier this week, host Aditya Narayan had also tested positive for Covid-19.

A source shared with indianexpress.com that while most contestants are in a kind of bio bubble, given the surge in cases in the state, the risk factor has increased. As soon as he started showing symptoms, he was immediately isolated and tested. After his results came positive, other contestants, judges and crew have also been tested, and their reports are expected soon. As for the competition, Pawandeep Rajan will be seen performing virtually from his hotel room.

“It’s unfortunate that something like this happened. While Aditya was not shooting when he tested positive, Pawandeep’s reports did cause the team a little worry. However, none of the other contestants have shown any symptoms, and we are hopeful everyone’s result will come negative. Pawandeep, too is doing fine, and is looking forward to being back on the set soon,” added the source.
