Bollywood actor Juhi Chawla took to her Twitter handle on Sunday to wish speedy recovery for the Bachchan family but instead of Aishwarya/Aaradhya, looks like the word got 'auto-corrected' and it came out to be 'Ayurveda'. While some fans wondered who 'Ayurveda' was, others just blamed 'Auto-correct' for this error. However, the Darr actor has now deleted the said tweet and posted her good wishes for the Bachchan family's health in another tweet. 

Juhi has also clarified in her latest tweet that 'Ayurveda' in her last post was not a typo but was intentionally put for the ailing actors. She explained her belief that Ayurveda can help them recover fast which is why she had written the word. Netizens were yet again puzzled by her statement as they asked the actor to help them understand how Ayurveda can be useful in COVID treatment.
