Preity Zinta reveals her mom, brother and his family tested Covid positive

Preity Zinta, who lives in Los Angeles with her husband, revealed in an Instagram post that some of her family members, including her mother and brother, tested positive for COVID-19 three weeks ago.

Referring to who appears to be her uncle, Preity said she "felt helpless and powerless" being miles away as "he battled it out in the hospital." On a positive note, Preity added that her family members have finally tested negative after three weeks, and now the new year 2021 feels like a "happy one".

Here's an excerpt from Preity's post: "Three weeks ago my mom, brother, his wife, kids and my uncle, all tested positive for Covid. Suddenly terms like ventilators, ICU and oxygen machines took a new meaning. I felt helpless and powerless here in America, far away as he battled it out in the hospital."
