However, Gauahar’s team released a statement Tuesday. “Urging everyone to stop speculating. For everyone sending their best wishes and concern for Gauahar Khan, here’s the latest report. She’s tested negative in multiple reports. She’s a law-abiding citizen and complying with all the norms of BMC. This is to appeal for all the speculation to be put to an end. Gauahar Khan is cooperating with everything that BMC requires,” the statement said.
“Requesting media houses not to indulge in speculation and respect Gauahar’s emotionally lowest low time as she just lost her father 10 days ago and she’s going through everything that is expected from her by the BMC. So with folded hands, we want Gauahar’s time to herself, respectfully and let her heart heal in this mourning time,” the stamen further said.
