Actor Parth Samthaan, who has been recovering from coronavirus, has been called out on social media for flouting home quarantine rules. The Kasautii Zindagii Kay actor recently tested negative, however, as per BMC rules, the patient needs to complete isolation for a specific period before they can step out.

On Tuesday, a Twitter user posted that the actor had stepped out of his sealed flat in Goregaon, Mumbai and even used public facilities. She also shared that his house-help, who stays with Samthaan, is still positive.

Tagging Mumbai Police and the BMC, she wrote, “TV actor @LaghateParth Parth Samthaan has been flouting BMC quarantine rules, stepping out of BMC seal of his flat, using public facilities in DB woods, Goregaon putting residents at risk. His house help who stays with him, is still positive. Need action BMC @mybmc @mumbaipolice.”
