Veteran actor and filmmaker Parveen Rizvi, better known as Sangeeta, has tested positive for coronavirus and is quarantined in her Lahore home.

She shared with Images that she's got a persistent cough and can't talk much.

"I'm treating myself at home, taking the medicines prescribed by my doctor but I'm in a lot of pain," she said.

Recently, actors Mahira Khan, Behroze Sabzwari, Neelam Muneer and Sanam Jung, along with her 4-year-old daughter, also contracted the novel virus.

Previously, some other big names from within the industry who got and beat Covid-19 include Usman Mukhtar, Rubina Ashraf, Vasay Chaudhry, Alyzeh Gabol and Saheefa Jabbar Khattak to name a few.

Wishing Sangeeta a speedy recovery.
