Chess maestro Viswanathan Anand finally reunited with his family in Chennai after being stuck in Germany for over three months as the former world chess champion reached his home on Saturday after completing a seven-day institutional quarantine in Bengaluru.
Anand had returned to the country on May 30.
“Yes, I am home. Happy to see my family, especially my son,” said Anand, who will be in home quarantine for a period of seven days as per the Tamil Nadu Government’s protocols.
“Finally, good to be coming home,” Anand tweeted before heading for Chennai.
Anand’s wife Aruna said was naturally delighted.
“It feels great to have him home again.. After 112 days. It feels like a family again. Akhil (son) is also very happy,” she said.
“As per the Tamil Nadu Government’s quarantine rules, Anand will be in a separate room. We have to follow the rules strictly,” she added.
