He also posted a video on his social media profiles and wrote: "COVID has barriers - But LOVE has no BARRIERS ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE LIFE 1st time 'nuvvu negative kavalani korukuntunnanu'." The bit in Telugu can be translated as, "For the first time I want you to be negative."
Nithiin and Shalini got married in July 2020. Tollywood, incidentally, has been seeing a rise in the number of celebrities testing positive for COVID-19. They include well-known stars Mahesh Babu, Manchu Manoj and Manchu Lakshmi.
