Singer SP Balasubrahmanyam has tested negative for the coronavirus, his son SP Charan said on September 7. "We were expecting dad's lungs to improve to a point where we could remove the ventilator. But, unfortunately, we are still not at that point where we could rid him of the ventilator. But the good news is dad is COVID negative," Charan said in an Instagram video.
Charan said his father's physiotherapy is going on well and he is able to write to communicate with doctors and nurses. His father SP Balasubrahmanyam has been keeping himself busy by watching sports matches on his handheld device, Charan said.
Though the 74-year-old performer continues to be on ventilator support at Chennai’s MGM Healthcare Hospital, he celebrated his wedding anniversary at the hospital recently, his son informed.
Charan said in the video he shared on September 7: “… We had a small celebration for mom and dad for their anniversary. Dad is watching a lot of cricket and tennis on his iPad. He is looking forward to the Indian Premier League 2020 and is writing and communicating a lot.”
