Radhika Pandit's birthday celebration in 2020 stands cancelled over the fears of Coronavirus. Her husband Yash, who took a break from the shoot of his much-awaited multilingual movie KGF: Chapter 2, has confirmed the news at a recently-held press meet.

When the media enquired about her birthday celebration, Yash said, "We are keeping it simple this time. As you all know, it is not advisable to have a big gathering when there is a widespread fear over novel Coronavirus outbreak. Normally, there will be celebration at home, but this time we are going outside."
