Hours after Malaika Arora shared that she has tested positive for Coronavirus, sister Amrita Arora took to her Instagram story and criticised the ones who circulated the former's COVID test report on social media. Amrita asked if it is okay that her sister's results have been posted on various WhatsApp groups, Facebook and other mediums. More so, the actor also asked if that's the price of being a celebrity.
Amrita continued, "New normal? In sickness but not in health? Is this okay? While she was hoping and praying for a negative test and was also preparing herself to get better this is what one has to deal with? How is this ok????????? What’s has happened to us humans... sad sad state of affairs."

Sharing pictures of Malaika Arora's report, the Kitne Door Kitne Paas actor then went to question netizens if posting Malaika Arora's result was of any use to anyone. "She’s a responsible citizen who would’ve declared it anyway! What’s the perverse pleasure of making it a discussion and guessing how and when she got it." Amrita then fumed over those who went to the extent of saying that Malaika deserves it with laughing emojis. "Why why why," Amrita asked.
Not only this, but Amrita also wondered how the report circulated in the first place. She wrote, "The question is how did her report get out in the 1st place ... How was it ok to disregard a doc / patient confidentiality. Let’s just respect what’s happening in the world today and stop this ridiculous naming and shaming syndrome! STOP!"
