Jaya Bachchan who was spared the COVID 19 virus when her entire family—her husband Amitabh, son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya—were infected in 2020 has got the virus.

The project that gets most directly affected is Karan Johar’s multi-starrer 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' where Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan stars in a pivotal role. The shooting of the next schedule in Delhi has been postponed.

Shabana Azmi tests positive for COVID-19

Says a source, “The shooting schedule for 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' was to begin on 2 February and end on 14 February. First Shabana Azmi tested positive and now Jaya Bachchan. Karan has now called off the schedule. He doesn’t want to take a risk with the rest of the cast and crew.”

Johar wrapped up a schedule in Delhi in December 2021. The film stars Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in the lead role with Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi playing pivotal roles.
