It was only on Saturday that Selvaraghavan's wife, Gitanjali, had announced that she had tested positive for Covid.
"My achy breaky head. Isolation day 2. Dear God, When I said help me get rid of all negativity in my life this year, I did not mean this. I will happily take any number of negatives in my covid tests. Yours sincerely, Gitanjali," she said.
Taking to Instagram, Jayaram, who has acted in a number of Malayalam and Tamil films, said: "Hi everyone, I have tested positive for Covid-19 today. This is a reminder that the virus is still among us. I urge those who have been in close contact with me to isolate themselves and get tested if experiencing symptoms. I have started my treatment for the same. Hoping to see you all very soon."
