She tweeted, "My parents were showing mild COVID-19 symptoms over the weekend and as a precautionary measure everyone at home underwent test immediately. The results have just come in, and unfortunately my parents have tested positive. The necessary authorities have been updated of their situation and we are complying with the precautionary guidelines. The rest of the family including myself have tested negative. By the grace of God they are coping well and all your prayers and blessings will put them on the road to recovery."
Coming back to Trehan prior to his directorial debut, he has served as casting director on several films such as "Sonchiriya", "Udta Punjab", "Talvar" and "Dedh Ishqiya".
