Ritwik garnered pan-India recognition for his starring role in the web series "Bandish Bandits" last year. He featured alongside the likes of Naseeruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni and others in the Amazon Prime Video web series.

Earlier on Sunday, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar announced on social media that he has tested positive for Covid-19.

"I wish to inform everyone that earlier this morning I tested positive for Covid-19. Following all the protocols, I have immediately isolated myself. I'm under home quarantine and have sought necessary medical care. I would sincerely request all those that have come in contact with me to get themselves tested and take care. Back in action soon," he tweeted.

This was followed by Bollywood star Govinda announcing that he has also tested positive.

"I have been testing myself and taking all the necessary precautions to keep the coronavirus away. However, I tested positive today following mild symptoms. All others at home have tested negative. I am under home quarantine and under able medical guidance. I request everyone to please follow all the necessary precautions and please take care," Govinda told IANS.
