Ram Gopal Varma admits coronavirus positive “news” was April Fool’s joke

Ram Gopal Varma has admitted that a tweet he shared earlier relating to him testing positive for coronavirus was an April Fool’s joke.

He tweeted that he had been diagnosed with coronavirus by his doctor, only to later admit it was a prank. He said, “Sorry to disappoint, but now he tells me it’s a April Fool joke. it’s his fault and not mine.”

While many had questioned his sense of humour during this difficult time, he said he was trying to make light of a grim situation. He said, “Anyway I am just trying to make light of a grim situation but the joke is on me and if I dint offend anyone I sincerely apologise to them.”
