Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday tweeted a video of his conversation with five-year-old Noorpreet Kaur, the young TikTok sensation, who was scheduled to tie him ‘rakhi’ on Raksha Bandhan but could not as she was tested positive for Covid-19 a day before.
“Spoke to our little star Noor on Raksha Bandhan. Happy to share that she is doing fine and am sure she and her father will beat COVID-19 soon. Already looking forward to meeting you. God Bless,” Capt Amarinder said in a tweet accompanying the video.
The five-year-old, who became a TikTok star during the lockdown period with over 1.5 million followers, was scheduled to personally tie ‘rakhi’ to the Chief Minister Capt Amarinder but tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday when she underwent testing made mandatory for those who wanted an appointment with the Chief Minister.
Her father Satnam Singh, a labourer at a brick-kiln, also tested positive for the virus along a person who is believed to be part of Noor’s TikTok team.
