Madonna on testing positive for Covid-19 antibodies: ‘I am not currently sick’ - music

Madonna said Thursday she has recovered from the coronavirus which forced her to pull out of a string of concerts in Paris in February and March. The “Queen of Pop” said she had tested positive for antibodies which may mean she had Covid-19 -- though at the time she said she didn’t realise she had it.“I am not currently sick,” she told her 15 million followers on Instagram. “When you test positive for anti-bodies it means you had the virus, which I clearly did as I was sick at the end of my tour in Paris over seven weeks ago along with many other artists in my show,” she said.The 61-year-old star only played a single night in Paris on February 22 before calling off the next show, citing “ongoing injuries”. She later called off two further Paris concerts -- the last in her Madame X world tour -- after French authorities banned large gatherings in a bid to stem the spread of the virus in early March.“At the time we all thought we had a bad flu,” Madonna wrote in her post. “Thank God we are all healthy and well now.” The Paris dates on Madonna’s tour seem to have been cursed, with her opening night concert not starting till after midnight, three and a half hours late.Scientists are sceptical about the accuracy of many antibody tests which claim to show a person has had the virus. Some warned that even those tests that meet the US government’s informal standards may produce false positives.The singer revealed she had the virus after sharing an article about her donating $1.1 million (one million euros) towards research to find a vaccine for the coronavirus.

Here’s why Shraddha Kapoor refused to work with Salman Khan at the age of 16 - bollywood

Shraddha Kapoor has opened up about refusing an offer to work with Salman Khan when she was just 16. The actor had chosen to focus on her studies before she eventually decided to make her Bollywood debut with 2010 film Teen Patti at the age of 23. Shraddha says she always wanted to become an actor but had to let go of the opportunity for the sake of her education. “However, I felt that at the age of 15 or 16, I was too young and wanted to finish schooling and attend college. I don’t think getting offers back then has defined my success. But it was difficult to turn it down and focus on studies because it was such a fantastic opportunity to work with Salman Khan.”The actor saw the release of her latest film Baaghi 3 this month. Soon after opening at Rs 17 crore and making a total of Rs 87.50 crore in its first week, it was severely hit by the coronavirus outbreak.
