Renowned actor Akshay Kumar has tested positive for COVID-19 for the third time and will miss Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding today in Mumbai. Additionally, he will be absent from the final promotions of his latest film, “Sarfira.”

Akshay initially attended the pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar but began feeling unwell after some members of his promotion team contracted the virus. Despite being personally invited by Anant, Akshay has had to isolate himself.

During the pre-wedding event, Akshay danced energetically for the bride and groom and praised the Ambanis for their grand celebration. However, after returning from Jamnagar, he tested positive on Friday morning following the illness of his team members.

This marks the third time Akshay has contracted COVID-19. In 2021, he first tested positive during the filming of “Ram Setu,” resulting in home quarantine and medical care. He contracted the virus again in 2022, which prevented him from attending the Cannes Film Festival.


In a 2023 interview, Akshay discussed his struggle to regain stamina after a severe case of COVID-19. During the first wave of the pandemic, he donated Rs. 25 crores to the PM-Cares relief fund and resumed filming as soon as lockdowns lifted.
