Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut’s second coronavirus test report on Wednesday came negative, doctors said.

Her sample was taken late on Tuesday evening by local health authorities from her parental residence near Hamirpur town in the hill state after the first one failed.

Ranaut was scheduled to take flight from Chandigarh at 12.15pm on Wednesday to Mumbai.

However, the tests of her sister and assistant were negative.

In a tweet en route to Chandigarh via road, she said, “I have lived the courage, valour and sacrifice of Rani Laxmibai through my films. The sad thing is that I am being prevented from coming to my own Maharashtra. I will continue to raise my voice against wrong, Jai Maharashtra, Jai Shivaji.”

The family of Ranaut was settled at Bhambla village near Hamirpur town, some 200km from the state capital Shimla.
