Now, the latest buzz is that MTV Roadies Revolution winner Hamid Barkzi has also been tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Hamid took to social media and announced that he will be staying away from Instagram and other social media platforms as he is focussing on recovering completely after testing positive for COVID-19. He promised his fans that he will soon be back with a bang and also asked them to keep him in prayers.

Have a look at the post:

Hamid became one of the most popular male contestants of Roadies. He went ahead to beat popular and consistent contestants like Jayant Yadav and Micheal Ajay. Hamid proved that an underdog can also go ahead to win the show if he is dedicated enough.

We hope and wish that like his unexpected victory in Roadies, Hamid will also emerge as a winner in the battle against the COVID-19.

Stay tuned to this space for more updates.
