Ranvir Shorey 'hounded out of hotel' after he posted online about his son testing COVID-19 positive
Indian actor Ranvir Shorey has alleged he was "hounded out" of a hotel after he posted online about his son testing positive for coronavirus.
Shorey, who was in Goa, wrote on Instagram three days ago, "My son Haroon and I were on holiday in Goa, and during the routine RT-PCR testing for the flight back to Mumbai, he has turned out to be Covid positive. We are both completely asymptomatic and have immediately quarantined until further investigations..."
A day ago, he again posted with an update which reads, "He has retested positive, but I have tested negative. Good news is that Covaxin works. Bad news is that we will have to remain isolated for the next week. What a welcome from 2022."
Shorey on Friday took to Instagram once again to allege he and his son were almost "hounded" out of the hotel due to the pressure from other guests.
"As a result of my SM post, meant for the common good, we were almost hounded out of our hotel room, where we were quarantining, due to other guests pressurising the hotel about us staying there.
"Society's capacity for unscientific discrimination has been on full display," he wrote.
In a fresh Instagram post, Shorey was seen along with his son.
The caption of the post reads, "As you celebrate the arrival of the new year, spare a thought for those of us who are quarantining."
