Early on Thursday, Shivathmika Rajasekhar said that her father, actor Rajasekhar, has been having a difficult time and that he is fighting COVID-19 despite that. Sections of media misinterpreted the message and started saying that the 'PSV Garuda Vega' actor is in a critical condition. The news is that Rajasekhar's condition is stable.

Issuing a timely clarification, Shivathmika wrote, "I cannot thank you all enough for your love and wishes! But please know, he is not critical. He is stable and getting better! We just need your prayers and positivity. Thank you once again. Do not panic. Please do not spread fake news."

Rajasekhar's fans are relieved that their favourite actor is getting better due to treatment.
