New Delhi (Sputnik): India's film city Mumbai is reeling under the mounting number of COVID-19 cases, making it the worst-hit community in the country. Maharashtra state, which will remain under lockdown until 31 July, has a total 169,883 confirmed cases of coronavirus, with 7,610 related deaths.

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has appealed to fans to pray for his mother's well-being as she undergoes a coronavirus test after some of his home staff have been found COVID-19 positive. 

The actor put up a Twitter post on Tuesday to share the news with millions of his fans.

While he was on his way to get her tested in Mumbai, the actor shared that he and his family have tested negative but his mother is the last one in the loop.

The 'PK' movie actor wrote in his post, "this is to inform you that some of my staff have tested positive. They were immediately quarantined, and the BMC (civil) officials were very prompt and efficient in taking them to a medical facility."
