“Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her daughter Aaradhya Abhishek Bachchan have also been detected positive for Covid-19. Jaya Bachchan ji is tested negative for Covid-19. We wish the Bachchan family to get well soon with a speedy recovery,” he tweeted in English and Marathi both.

However, within minutes Tope deleted his tweets-Marathi and English versions, both - following criticism in social media platforms for naming them. However, by that time,the screenshots have gone viral on social media.
