On Sunday, as the swab test reports of the rest of the family members came out, it was revealed that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her daughter have also been detected positive for the coronavirus. Now, as reported by NDTV 24×7, the doctors have advised the mother-daughter duo to stay at home under self-quarantine and not get admitted to the hospital.
