India has recorded a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases, with fear of the new Omicron variant forcing several states to bring back night curfews, cancel New Year’s Eve parties and shut down cinemas once again.

Meanwhile, Thakur had been busy in December promoting the release of her film ‘Jersey’, which stars Shahid Kapoor in the lead. However, due to the COVID-19 spike and theatre closures in parts of India, the makers deferred the release of the film.
