Veteran actor Kiran Kumar, who had revealed his coronavirus diagnosis last week, on Wednesday announced that he has now tested negative for COVID-19. The actor said his third Coronavirus test has come negative, but his family is still under isolation.

"My family is still following strict home isolation. I was totally asymptomatic and apart from the boredom that accompanies isolation had no other complaints. I am continuing to take this forced time out as an opportunity to introspect and focus on life's smaller pleasures," Kumar said in a statement. The 74-year-old actor earlier told PTI that he had visited a hospital for a routine medical check-up on May 14, where the COVID-19 test was mandatory.
